Ingredients
Scale
For the cobbler:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
For the topping:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the cobbler: Pour the melted butter into a 9×9-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk until just combined to form a thin batter. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish—do not stir.
- Make the lemon topping: In a separate bowl, mix the lemon juice with the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and carefully spoon it over the batter. Again, do not stir.
- Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cobbler is set with bubbling edges. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
- For an extra lemony kick, top with a dusting of powdered sugar and a few fresh lemon slices.
