Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Filling:
- 21 ounces (595 grams) lemon pie filling
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 grams) flour
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients and Dairy:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) buttermilk
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F and place a stick of butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish, allowing it to melt completely for 3-4 minutes. Carefully remove the dish once butter is fully liquefied.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any lumps and create a uniform dry mixture.
- Add buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract to the dry ingredients, gently whisking until a smooth, consistent batter develops without overmixing.
- Gently pour the prepared batter directly over the melted butter in the baking dish, ensuring an even distribution without stirring or disturbing the butter layer.
- Carefully spread the lemon pie filling across the surface of the batter, creating an even layer that covers the entire dish.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, watching for a golden-brown edge and a set center that indicates complete cooking.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to rest and cool slightly for 10-15 minutes, which helps the filling and crust set before serving.
Notes
- Butter Melting Technique: Carefully watch the butter to prevent burning, as different ovens vary in heating speed.
- Batter Consistency: Ensure the batter is smooth and lump-free for an even, tender cobbler texture.
- Lemon Flavor Enhancement: For a more intense citrus taste, add fresh lemon zest to the batter or sprinkle on top before baking.
- Dietary Modifications: Swap regular flour with gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version, and use dairy-free butter and buttermilk alternatives for a vegan adaptation.
