Ingredients
For the Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Lemon Sauce:
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
For Topping:
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to mix evenly. Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Grease a baking dish (8×8 or 9×9) with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the batter into the dish and spread evenly.
- Prepare the Lemon Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine hot water, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Add the Sauce: Carefully pour the lemon sauce over the batter without stirring. The layers will naturally form during baking.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Serve: Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm. Enjoy it alone or with ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
