Description
Indulge in the delightful flavors of this Magic Lemon Cobbler that marries the zesty brightness of lemon with a buttery, tender cobbler topping. It’s a dessert that’s both easy to make and incredibly satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
For the cobbler:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract (optional but adds bright flavor)
For the topping:
- 1 can (about 21 oz) lemon pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish and let it melt in the oven (about 3–5 minutes).
- Prepare the cobbler batter: Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract until just combined.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter directly over the melted butter—do not stir. Dollop spoonfuls of lemon pie filling evenly on top.
- Bake: Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is set.
- Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend.
- You can also swap lemon pie filling for homemade lemon curd—just note the texture and sweetness may vary.
- Optional toppings: a dusting of powdered sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a dollop of whipped cream.
