Ingredients

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp melted butter

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Sauce Layer

  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together until evenly distributed to ensure a balanced flavor throughout the batter.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, creating a well-incorporated dough.
  3. Assemble Cobbler: Grease a baking dish and spread the batter evenly into it. In a separate small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter to form a flavorful crust once baked.
  4. Create the Sauce Layer: Carefully pour the boiling water directly over the cinnamon sugar topping without stirring. This hot water will dissolve the sugar and seep through the batter, creating a moist, syrupy sauce during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Bake until the edges are golden brown and the mixture is bubbling, indicating that the cobbler is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Serve Warm: Allow the cobbler to rest for about 10 minutes after removing it from the oven. This cooling time helps the cobbler to set and enhances the texture before serving.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground cinnamon for the best flavor.
  • Be careful when pouring boiling water to avoid splashing.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
