# Ingredients:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
02 -
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
03 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
04 -
1 cup granulated sugar
→ Wet Ingredients
05 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter
06 -
1 cup buttermilk
07 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 -
1 teaspoon lemon extract (optional)
09 -
21 ounces lemon pie filling or lemon curd
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish and let it melt completely by placing the dish in the oven for 3-4 minutes.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract if using. Stir until the batter is smooth.
03 -
Carefully pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring. Let the butter sit on top of the batter.
04 -
Distribute the lemon pie filling or lemon curd evenly over the batter. The filling will sink during baking, creating a custard-like layer at the bottom.
05 -
Bake in the oven for 45-55 minutes until puffed up and golden brown around the edges. The center should be set but slightly soft. A toothpick inserted should come out clean with a few moist crumbs.
06 -
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. This helps the filling firm up, making it easier to serve.
07 -
Cut the cobbler into squares and serve warm. Top with whipped cream, ice cream, powdered sugar, or fresh lemon slices if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
For homemade buttermilk, mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar with 1 cup of milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before use.
02 -
Homemade lemon curd can be used instead of store-bought lemon pie filling for a fresher flavor.
03 -
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra warmth and depth.
