Experience the magic of baking with this easy and delightful Magic Lemon Cobbler! 🍋 Layers separate like magic in the oven, creating a golden crust, silky lemon center, and a burst of citrusy goodness.
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.
