Ingredients

For the Lemon Cobbler:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk or whole milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp lemon extract (optional)
• 21 oz can lemon pie filling or lemon curd

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven & Prepare Dish

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish and melt it in the preheated oven for 3-4 minutes, until fully melted. Remove the dish from the oven and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
2. Whisk in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract (if using) until a smooth batter forms.

Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler

1. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the batter will rise around the filling as it bakes.
2. Spoon the lemon pie filling or lemon curd evenly over the batter.

Step 4: Bake the Cobbler

1. Bake the cobbler for 45-55 minutes, until it is puffed and golden brown around the edges.

Step 5: Serve

1. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly. The lemon filling will create a delightful pudding-like texture on the bottom!
2. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream, ice cream, lemon slices, powdered sugar, or your desired toppings.
