Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 (21-ounce) can lemon pie filling
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Melt Butter: Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven while preheating (about 5-10 minutes).
-
Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract until the mixture is smooth.
-
Add the Pie Filling: Pour the lemon pie filling into the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring.
-
Top the Cobbler: Pour the batter over the top of the pie filling. Do not stir. As it bakes, the batter will rise and form a cobbler topping.
-
Bake: Bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
-
Serve: Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream!
Notes
- The “magic” comes from the batter rising to form the cobbler topping while the lemon pie filling remains at the bottom.
- For an extra touch, you can garnish with lemon zest or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
- If you prefer a more tangy lemon flavor, feel free to add more lemon extract or lemon zest to the batter.
