Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 21 ounce can lemon pie filling
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the cobbler.
- Melt Butter: Place the stick of butter in a 9×9-inch square baking dish and put it in the oven for 3-4 minutes until completely melted. Remove and set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Then add the sugar and whisk until uniformly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract into the dry mixture. Whisk gently just until everything is combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Combine Batter and Butter: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir to maintain the magic cobbler texture.
- Add Lemon Pie Filling: Spoon the lemon pie filling gently over the batter, spreading it evenly across the top.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 350°F for 45-55 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cobbler is set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld and make it easier to slice.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is fully melted before adding the batter for the perfect texture.
- Do not stir after pouring the batter over the melted butter; this creates the cobbler’s unique layered effect.
- Use fresh lemon extract for the brightest flavor possible.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
