Ingredients

Scale

Lemon Filling

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup sugar (adjustable)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons flour

Biscuit Topping

  • 1 cup flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (or coconut oil/dairy-free margarine for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lemon Filling: Whisk together fresh lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and flour in a bowl until smooth and tangy. This mixture will become the luscious custard that thickens during baking.
  2. Make the Biscuit Batter: In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, milk, and melted butter. Stir just until combined to form a light batter for the biscuit topping.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Grease a baking dish thoroughly and pour in the lemon filling. Dollop the biscuit batter evenly over the lemon mixture’s surface; it will spread and rise while baking.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Place the dish in a preheated oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the lemon filling has set with a silky texture.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly to let the layers settle for easy slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lemons for the brightest, most natural flavor.
  • Do not overmix the biscuit batter to keep the topping tender and cakey.
  • Grease your baking dish well to prevent sticking and ease serving.
  • Let the cobbler rest for a few minutes after baking for clean slices and enhanced flavor melding.
  • Consider dusting the top with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant look and subtle sweetness.
