Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted
Topping
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1½ cups boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter into the dry mixture until you achieve a smooth batter. Pour this batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
- Add Boiling Water: Carefully pour the boiling water over the top of the batter and cinnamon sugar mixture without stirring to keep the layers distinct.
- Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- Be careful when pouring boiling water over the batter to avoid splashing.
- Do not stir after adding boiling water; the layering creates the cobbler’s signature texture.
- Letting the cobbler rest before serving allows the filling to thicken slightly.
- For best results, use full-fat milk and unsalted butter.
- This dessert pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
