Ingredients

Scale

Butter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon extract

Topping

  • 1 (21 oz) can lemon pie filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the appropriate temperature for baking the cobbler evenly.
  2. Melt Butter in Baking Dish: Place the unsalted butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish and put it in the oven for about 3-4 minutes until completely melted. This creates a buttery base for the cobbler.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until the mixture is well combined and aerated.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract into the dry mixture. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the batter, which keeps the cobbler tender.
  5. Combine Batter and Butter: Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the batter will cook through while the butter creates a rich bottom crust.
  6. Add Lemon Pie Filling: Spoon dollops of the lemon pie filling evenly over the top of the batter. This topping adds a burst of sweet and tangy flavor to the cobbler.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes until the edges become golden brown and the cobbler is set in the center.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon extract for the best citrus flavor.
  • Make sure to melt the butter thoroughly in the baking dish before adding the batter to create a moist, buttery base.
  • Do not stir the batter once poured over the butter to allow the magic cobbler effect to occur.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
