Ingredients
Batter
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup hot water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish thoroughly and set it aside to be ready for the batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and light brown sugar. Use a fork or whisk to evenly mix all the dry ingredients together.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the whole milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture well until fully combined into a smooth batter.
- Pour Batter into Dish: Transfer the prepared batter evenly into the greased 8×8 baking dish, spreading it out smoothly.
- Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the light brown sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon until combined using a fork.
- Sprinkle and Add Hot Water: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping over the batter in the dish. Then, very carefully pour the hot water over the entire surface of the batter, covering it evenly but gently to avoid disturbing the topping too much.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the cobbler is bubbly and set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- Be sure to pour hot water carefully to maintain the topping layer on the batter.
- Use whole milk for the best flavor and texture, but you can substitute with 2% milk if needed.
- Serving warm with ice cream enhances the dessert’s flavor and texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
