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

Fruit Filling

  • 1 (21 oz) can lemon pie filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the cobbler evenly.
  2. Melt Butter: Place the unsalted butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven for about 3-4 minutes until fully melted.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined to distribute the leavening and sugar evenly.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract into the dry mixture just until combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the batter light.
  5. Assemble Batter: Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish, do not stir, allowing the butter to rise through the batter during baking.
  6. Add Lemon Filling: Spoon dollops of the lemon pie filling evenly over the top of the batter to create pockets of sweet lemon flavor.
  7. Bake: Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Do not stir the batter after pouring it over the melted butter; this technique helps create the cobbler’s signature texture.
  • You can use fresh lemon zest or juice in place of lemon extract if preferred.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
  • Ensure the baking dish is approximately 9×9 inches to maintain the correct thickness of the cobbler.
