Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Additional

  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the lemon cobbler.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, melted unsalted butter, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and lemon zest into the dry mixture, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking, then pour the batter evenly into the dish.
  5. Add Boiling Water: Carefully pour 1 cup of boiling water over the batter without stirring, which will create a layered effect essential to the cobbler’s texture.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors set.

Notes

  • Do not stir the boiling water into the batter; this creates the signature cobbler texture with cake on top and syrupy lemon sauce underneath.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
  • Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
  • This cobbler can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Ensure the baking dish is adequately greased to prevent sticking.
