Description

A simple, bright lemon cobbler recipe that bakes into distinct layers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup of the sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar with the lemon juice and lemon zest.
  6. Slowly pour the lemon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter. Do not stir.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the liquid has been absorbed, forming a sauce underneath.
  8. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • The lemon layer will sink to the bottom during baking, creating a sauce.
