Ingredients

• 3 whole fresh lemons (zested and juiced)
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Wash the lemons thoroughly. Zest the lemons to yield about 1 tablespoon of zest. Juice the lemons to get approximately 1/2 cup of fresh juice and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Pour the melted butter into a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. DO NOT MIX them together; the butter should remain on the bottom.

Step 6

In another bowl, mix the reserved 1/2 cup of lemon juice, lemon zest, and the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar has mostly dissolved.

Step 7

Pour the lemon mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the dish. Do not stir.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. The cobbler will set slightly as it cools.

Step 10

Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired. Optionally, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
