Magic Lemon Cobbler 

 

Ingredients:

For the Lemon Filling:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup water

For the Cobbler Batter:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.

Make the Lemon Filling:

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, and water.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer.
3. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Cobbler Batter:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.

Assemble the Cobbler:

1. Pour the lemon filling mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
2. Spoon dollops of the cobbler batter over the top of the lemon filling. Don’t worry if the batter doesn’t cover the filling completely; it will spread as it bakes.

Bake the Cobbler:

1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.

Serve:

1. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
2. Serve the magic lemon cobbler warm, scooping out portions with a spoon and spooning some of the lemon sauce from underneath over the top.
3. Optionally, you can serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
4. Enjoy your magic lemon cobbler with its luscious lemony flavor and cake-like topping! It’s a perfect dessert for any occasion and sure to impress your family and friends.
