Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Topping
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter, stirring gently until just combined to form a smooth batter.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish. Pour the batter evenly into the dish. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the batter, followed by an even dusting of ground cinnamon.
- Add Hot Water: Carefully pour the hot water over the entire mixture without stirring it in. This step helps create the characteristic cobbler texture as the batter rises through the sugary cinnamon topping.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and you see bubbling around the edges, indicating the cobbler is cooked through.
- Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let the layers settle. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- Do not stir the cobbler after adding the hot water to ensure the classic layered texture.
- Use freshly ground cinnamon for the best flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
- This cobbler is best enjoyed warm but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and gently reheated.
- Adding vanilla ice cream on top enhances the dessert’s richness and complements the cinnamon flavor beautifully.
