Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup milk
- Powdered sugar for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
- Make the Batter: In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and lemon zest until well combined. Add the lemon juice and milk, stir, and then slowly mix in the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
- Bake the Cobbler: Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden and the filling bubbles around the edges. The crust will rise and form a crisp layer over the creamy base.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for 10–15 minutes. Serve warm with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream for a dreamy finish.
Notes
- Use Fresh Lemons: Fresh juice and zest make a noticeable difference.
- Check for Doneness: The crust should be golden and firm.
- Serve Warm: Best enjoyed shortly after baking while the inside is creamy.
