Ingredients
  

For the Cobbler Base
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Provides sweetness; feel free to reduce slightly for a less sweet treat.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Offers structure; swap with a gluten-free flour blend to make this a gluten-free option.
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder Acts as a leavening agent for that perfect rise; always check for freshness!
  • 1/4 tsp Salt Enhances flavor; can be omitted for low-sodium diets.
  • 1 cup Milk Adds moisture; use plant-based milk for a vegan twist.
  • 1/2 cup Melted Butter Imparts richness; dairy-free butter works beautifully for a vegan version.
For the Lemon Filling
  • 1/2 cup Lemon Juice The star ingredient for a zesty brightness; always opt for fresh juice for the best flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Zest Boosts the lemon flavor profile; fresh zest is key for the most vibrant taste.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Adds depth; it’s optional.

Equipment

  • 9x9-inch baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the milk, melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir gently until smooth, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly without stirring.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
