Here’s a delightful recipe for Magic Lemon Cobbler that’s buttery, tangy, and irresistibly delicious!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon extract
21 oz can lemon pie filling
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt the Butter:
Place the stick of butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Put the dish in the oven while it preheats to melt the butter. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t brown.
Mix the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk to blend evenly.
Add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until smooth (a few lumps are okay).
Assemble the Cobbler:
Remove the baking dish from the oven once the butter has melted.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir.
Spoon the lemon pie filling over the top of the batter. Spread it gently, but do not mix—it will settle as it bakes, creating the “magic” layers.
Bake:
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.
Cool and Serve:
Let the cobbler cool for 5-10 minutes to allow the layers to set.
Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Tips:
For Extra Zest: Add a teaspoon of fresh lemon zest to the batter for an extra citrusy punch.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Versatility: Swap the lemon pie filling for another flavor (e.g., peach, blueberry, or cherry) to create a different cobbler variation.
Enjoy your Magic Lemon Cobbler—a dessert that’s as easy as it is magical!
