Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cobbler evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to incorporate all the dry ingredients uniformly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a smooth batter forms with no lumps.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish lightly to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the dish, spreading it out smoothly.
- Make Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, the light brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish without stirring it in.
- Add Hot Water: Carefully and slowly pour 1 1/2 cups of hot water over the entire dish, covering the batter and sugar topping without mixing. This will create a gooey sauce-like layer at the bottom as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown, bubbly, and the center is set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. The bottom will be soft and saucy, giving a perfect gooey texture. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic experience.
Notes
- For extra cinnamon flavor, sprinkle more cinnamon over the top before baking.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream to enhance the dessert’s richness.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave for convenience.
- This dessert is best enjoyed the same day but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
