Step-by-Step Instructions
Preparing the Magic Lemon Cobbler
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the granulated sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined. Stir in the lemon zest to infuse the batter with citrusy brightness.
- Pour the Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Prepare the Lemon Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
- Add the Lemon Syrup: Gently pour the lemon syrup over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the syrup will sink to the bottom, creating the magic layering effect as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cobbler will have a slightly crisp top and a soft, gooey lemon center.
- Cool: Allow the cobbler to cool in the baking dish for at least 15 minutes. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to serve.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
