- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish.
- Make the lemon filling: In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the water, stirring to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, zest, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into your prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter, and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until it forms pea-sized crumbs. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined.
- Add the topping: Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the lemon filling, creating an uneven topping (it’s okay if some of the lemon filling peeks through).
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Serve warm, and for extra indulgence, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
This lemon cobbler is a perfect balance of tangy and sweet—definitely a crowd-pleaser! Would you like to tweak this with any other flavors, like blueberry or raspberry, for a fun twist?
