Equipment
- 1 9x13-inch baking dish
- 1 mixing bowls
- 1 whisk
- 1 spoon or spatula
- 1 oven mitts
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
- Additional sugar for dusting optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9x13-inch baking dish with a little butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually stir in the milk and melted butter until the batter is smooth. The mixture will be thick.
- Fold in the lemon zest for added flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Do not worry about spreading it evenly; it will spread during baking.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the lemon juice and an additional 1 cup of sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Slowly pour the lemon juice mixture over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir; it will create two layers while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. If desired, dust with additional sugar for garnish.
Notes
Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
This cobbler can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and you can reheat it in the oven before serving.
Feel free to adjust the sugar based on your tartness preference. More sugar will make it sweeter, while less will highlight the lemon's tartness.
