Description

This Lemon Cobbler is a delightful and easy-to-make dessert featuring a buttery crust topped with sweet and tangy lemon pie filling. Baked to golden perfection, it’s perfect for serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Ingredients

For the Batter

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract

Topping

  • 21 ounce can lemon pie filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cobbler.
  2. Melt the butter: Place the 1/2 cup of butter into a 9 x 9 inch square baking dish and put it in the oven for 3-4 minutes until the butter is fully melted. Remove the dish from the oven and set aside.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Pour the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently just until the batter is combined and smooth.
  5. Assemble batter and butter: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Important: do not stir the batter into the butter.
  6. Add lemon filling: Spoon the lemon pie filling evenly over the top of the batter. This creates the signature cobbler layering effect.
  7. Bake the cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the edges of the cobbler are golden brown and set.
  8. Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For an extra special touch, top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream before enjoying.

Notes

  • Do not stir the batter after pouring it over the melted butter; this ensures a proper cobbler texture.
  • Using fresh lemon extract enhances the lemon flavor, but lemon zest can be added for extra brightness.
  • The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; look for golden edges as a cue for doneness.
  • This cobbler is best served warm and fresh out of the oven with your favorite creamy topping.
