Description

Magic Lemon Cobbler Delight is a luscious and comforting dessert featuring a soft, buttery topping baked over a tangy lemon sauce. This easy-to-make, self-saucing cobbler combines the brightness of fresh lemon zest and juice with a gooey, sweet lemon sauce that forms naturally during baking. Perfect for a cozy family dessert served warm, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale

Butter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your cobbler.
  2. Prepare Butter Base: Pour the melted butter into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the base.
  3. Make Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of the sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and lemon zest until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
  4. Layer Batter: Pour the lemon batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish, but do not stir. This layering helps create the cobbler’s distinctive texture.
  5. Mix Lemon Syrup: In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the freshly squeezed lemon juice, stirring until well mixed.
  6. Add Lemon Syrup: Pour this lemon sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish. Again, resist the urge to stir.
  7. Pour Hot Water: Carefully pour the hot water over the entire dish. Do not mix; this will create the self-saucing effect during baking.
  8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. During baking, a delicious lemon sauce will form beneath the cobbler topping.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For an extra tangy flavor, add more lemon zest to the batter.
  • This cobbler is self-saucing; do not be alarmed if the batter floats initially—magic happens while baking.
  • Serve warm for the best experience, paired with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
