Magic Lemon Cobbler (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
02 -
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter (1 stick)
03 -
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
04 -
1 cup granulated sugar
05 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
06 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 -
1 teaspoon lemon extract, optional
08 -
1 cup buttermilk
09 -
21 oz lemon pie filling or homemade lemon curd
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn on the oven to 350°F (175°C). Put the butter into your 9x9-inch baking dish and place it in the oven for a few minutes, until melted.
02 -
Take a mixing bowl and blend together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the buttermilk, vanilla, and lemon extract (if you're using it). Stir until smooth and runny.
03 -
Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in your baking dish. Leave it as-is to keep the layers from combining.
04 -
Drop spoonfuls of lemon pie filling or curd evenly on top. It'll settle into the batter as it cooks, creating a custardy layer.
05 -
Pop it into the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. It’s ready when the sides are a light brown and a toothpick poked into the middle comes out clean or with soft crumbs.
06 -
Take it out and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This helps the filling set up a little before you cut into it.
07 -
Slice into portions and serve warm. You can top it off with whipped cream, ice cream, powdered sugar, or even lemon slices if you want.
# Notes:
01 -
No buttermilk? Mix a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar into regular milk, wait 5-10 minutes, and it’s good to go.
02 -
Want super fresh flavor? Make lemon curd from scratch—it’s worth it.
03 -
Sprinkle in a little cinnamon or nutmeg if you’re craving some spice.
04 -
Stash leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and heat them up before digging in.
