Instructions
Bake Your Magic Lemon Cobbler Like a Pro:
-
Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking. -
Melt the Butter
In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Let it cool slightly. -
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. -
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, lemon extract, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. -
Form the Batter
Gently stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Avoid overmixing; some lumps are fine. -
Assemble the Cobbler
Spread the batter evenly in the baking dish. Spoon the lemon pie filling evenly over the top—do not mix. -
Bake
Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden and the batter is set. A toothpick inserted into the batter should come out clean (excluding filling residue). -
Cool & Serve
Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Best enjoyed warm, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
-
For a more intense lemon flavor, use both lemon extract and fresh lemon zest.
-
This base recipe works with other pie fillings like cherry, apple, or peach.
