Ingredients

For the Cobbler Base

½ cup unsalted butter Provides richness and moisture; substitute with margarine for a non-dairy option.
1 cup all-purpose flour Acts as the base structure of the dessert; you can use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
1½ cups granulated sugar Gives sweetness and helps create the gooey filling; consider sugar alternatives but note texture might change.
1 tbsp baking powder Functions as a leavening agent for a light texture; always check for freshness.
¼ tsp salt Enhances overall flavor, balancing the dessert's sweetness.
1 cup milk Adds richness; swap with almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free option.

For the Lemon Filling

¼ cup lemon juice The key flavor component that provides a zingy tartness; opt for fresh juice for the best taste.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Magic Lemon Cobbler Delight

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Melt unsalted butter in the greased baking dish in the oven for about 5-7 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Pour in milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest into the dry ingredients and stir gently without overmixing.
Sprinkle ½ cup of sugar evenly across the surface of the batter.
Pour 2 cups of hot water over the top of the batter without stirring.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
