Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.
- Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish, ensuring the bottom is fully coated.
- In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and milk. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish (do not stir). The butter will rise to the top as it bakes, creating the cobbler crust.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Serve warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- The cobbler is best served warm. You can reheat leftovers in the microwave for 20-30 seconds if needed.
- You can add a handful of fresh berries, such as blueberries or raspberries, to the batter for extra flavor and color.
- For a slightly more tart flavor, add a little extra lemon juice to the batter.
