Ingredients
For the Cobbler Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Lemon Filling:
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
For Topping (Optional):
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2: Make the Batter
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking dish.
Step 3: Prepare the Lemon Filling
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and water.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
- Add the slurry to the saucepan and stir constantly until the mixture thickens into a syrup-like consistency.
Step 4: Assemble & Bake
- Slowly pour the lemon filling over the cobbler batter. (Don’t stir—the batter will rise to the top as it bakes!)
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat!
Notes
- Use fresh lemons: Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives the best flavor—avoid bottled juice if possible.
- Don’t stir the layers: Pouring the lemon mixture over the batter creates the perfect cobbler texture.
- Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a tangier cobbler, reduce the sugar slightly.
- Make it extra gooey: Bake for a few extra minutes if you love a thicker, caramelized filling.
