Ingredients
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup milk
-
1/4 cup lemon juice
-
Zest of 1 lemon
-
2 cups hot water
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
-
-
Melt the Butter:
-
Melt the 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour it into the prepared baking dish.
-
-
Mix Dry Ingredients:
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
-
-
Add Wet Ingredients:
-
Pour in the milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined, but do not overmix.
-
-
Pour Over Butter:
-
Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir. It will seem like the batter is too thick, but it’s perfect for this recipe.
-
-
Add Hot Water:
-
Carefully pour the hot water over the batter. Again, do not stir. This will create the cobbler’s magical layers during baking.
-
-
Bake:
-
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. The cobbler should firm up slightly but remain a bit gooey underneath.
-
-
Serve:
-
Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
-
Notes
-
This cobbler creates its own sauce while baking, so don’t worry if it looks like it’s not forming properly at first.
-
You can adjust the lemon flavor by adding more zest or juice depending on how tangy you want it to be.
