Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
Baking and Spice Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
Topping Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by heating the oven to 350°F and coating a 9×13-inch pan with melted butter, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Create a smooth batter by gently whisking milk, vanilla, and sugar together, then incorporating flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until just combined.
- Construct the cobbler’s base layer by delicately spooning the batter over the melted butter without disturbing the butter’s distribution, then scatter brown sugar across the surface.
- Generate the unique cobbler texture by carefully pouring hot water over the entire mixture, maintaining the distinct layer separation without stirring.
- Bake the dessert in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and a mostly set center that indicates proper doneness.
- Enhance the flavor profile by mixing cinnamon and sugar, then generously dusting the hot cobbler immediately after removing from the oven.
- Allow the cobbler to rest and slightly cool, which helps the layers settle and intensifies the flavors, then serve warm with a complementary scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
Notes
- Butter Distribution Spread melted butter thoroughly to create a crispy, golden base that prevents sticking and adds rich flavor.
- Batter Mixing Whisk ingredients gently to avoid overmixing, which can make the cobbler tough and dense instead of light and tender.
- Layering Technique Pour hot water carefully without stirring, allowing the magic of baking to create distinct layers with a soft, custardy bottom.
- Dietary Adaptations Substitute gluten-free flour for a celiac-friendly version, or use almond milk for a dairy-free alternative without compromising taste.
