Magic Lemon Cobbler is an irresistible dessert where the magic truly happens in the oven. The batter forms a beautiful crispy top, while the bottom becomes a luscious, tangy lemon custard. Perfectly sweet and tart, this dessert is a favorite for any lemon lover. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) milk
- 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. The mixture will be slightly runny.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, but do not stir. It may seem thin, but it will come together as it bakes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crispy. The filling should be set and bubbly underneath.
- Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. The top will be crisp and the bottom will have a creamy, lemony custard.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, and enjoy the magic!
Notes
- This cobbler is best enjoyed warm, as the custard filling thickens slightly as it cools.
- If you prefer a more pronounced lemon flavor, you can increase the lemon zest and juice by 1 tablespoon each.
- For an extra twist, try adding a handful of fresh berries (like raspberries or blueberries) to the batter before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, though it’s best served fresh.
