Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Additional
- Zest of 2 lemons
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish thoroughly to ensure the cobbler doesn’t stick.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder until well combined and evenly mixed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the whole milk, melted unsalted butter, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir gently until the batter is just combined without overmixing.
- Fold in Lemon Zest: Carefully fold in the zest of 2 lemons, distributing the zest evenly throughout the batter for a bright citrus flavor.
- Bake the Cobbler: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges, indicating it’s cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted lightly with powdered sugar if desired, for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best bright lemon flavor.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the cobbler light and fluffy.
- You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative if preferred.
- For a richer flavor, use unsalted butter and melt it just before mixing.
- Dusting with powdered sugar is optional but adds a nice presentation and slight sweetness.
