Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish
  • 1 mixing bowls
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Additional 1 cup for the lemon filling.
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter Melted.
  • 2 cups fresh lemon juice About 4-6 lemons.
  • 1 lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg Optional.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
  • Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Do not spread it out; simply pour it in as it will spread while baking.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, and additional granulated sugar (1 cup). Pour this mixture over the batter in the baking dish without stirring.
  • Sprinkle the ground nutmeg on top if using. This adds a lovely aromatic touch.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is set.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. The lemon filling will settle at the bottom.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
The cobbler can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a twist, you can experiment by adding blueberries or raspberries to the lemon batter mixture.
