Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Other
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prepare it for the batter.
- Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Pour the batter: Transfer the batter evenly into the greased baking dish, spreading it out gently.
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar topping: In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until combined.
- Add the topping: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the surface of the batter, but do not stir it in.
- Pour hot water: Carefully pour the 1 1/2 cups of hot water over the entire dish, allowing it to sit atop the batter and sugar mixture without stirring.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbly and set in the center.
- Cool and serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. The bottom will be soft and saucy, creating a luscious snickerdoodle-inspired cobbler experience. Enjoy warm, ideally topped with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an enhanced classic cobbler experience.
- For an intensified cinnamon flavor, sprinkle additional ground cinnamon over the top before baking.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave for a quick warm dessert.
