Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 cup hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish to melt while preheating.
  2. Mix the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and lemon zest until smooth.
  3. Layer the ingredients: Pour this batter over the melted butter in the dish without stirring. Mix lemon juice and ¾ cup sugar in a bowl, then gently pour over the batter without mixing. Finally, pour hot water evenly over everything.
  4. Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is golden and set with a lemon layer beneath.
  5. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • The cobbler self-sauces while baking, so avoid stirring.
  • Enjoy warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a tasty contrast.
