Ingredients

Scale

For the 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)

For the topping:

  • 21 oz can lemon pie filling or lemon curd

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and melt butter: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place butter in a 9×9 inch baking dish and melt in preheated oven for 3-4 minutes until fully melted. Remove from oven.
  2. Prepare cobbler batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: Whisk in the buttermilk, vanilla, and lemon extract (if using) until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Layer the cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish (do not stir).
  5. Add lemon filling: Spoon the lemon pie filling or lemon curd evenly over the batter.
  6. Bake: Bake for 45-55 minutes until puffed and golden brown around the edges.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. The lemon filling will be a pudding on the bottom! Serve warm, topped with desired toppings.

Notes

  • You can adjust the level of tartness by using more or less lemon curd.
  • Experiment with different fruit fillings for a variety of flavors.
