Equipment

  • Mixing bowls

Ingredients
  

For the Magical Batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or 1:1 gluten-free blend
  • 1 cup granulated sugar or monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the Lemon Magic:

  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice 3-4 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1 cup whole milk or oat milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Garnishes:

  • Powdered sugar
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Whipped cream
  • Lemon slices

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9x13 inch ceramic baking dish with butter.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Prepare the Wet Ingredients:

  • In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Don't worry if the mixture looks slightly curdled—that's the magic starting!

Combine Without Mixing:

  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Do not stir! Trust the process; the layers will form naturally during baking.

Bake the Cobbler:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden and crisp, and the edges are bubbling.

Rest and Serve:

  • Allow the cobbler to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. The layers will set, revealing the magical textures.

Garnish and Enjoy:

  • Dust with powdered sugar, add a dollop of whipped cream, and garnish with fresh mint leaves or lemon slices.

Notes

  • For extra lemon flavor, add more lemon zest.
  • Substitute lemon juice with berry puree, passion fruit juice, or other citrus for a twist.
  • For a dairy-free version, use oat milk and plant-based butter.
  • Add spices like cardamom or ginger for a cozy variation.
