Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until just combined, making sure not to overmix to keep the batter light and fluffy.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish. Pour the prepared batter evenly into the dish. Sprinkle the packed brown sugar evenly over the batter, then sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top to create the signature snickerdoodle flavor.
- Add Hot Water: Carefully and slowly pour the hot water over the top of the batter and cinnamon sugar layer. Do not stir; the water will help the cobbler bake into a moist and bubbly dessert as it cooks.
- Bake: Place the assembled cobbler into the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top becomes golden brown and the cobbler is bubbling around the edges, indicating that it’s fully cooked.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent touch, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Be careful when pouring the hot water over the batter to avoid splashing and to maintain the layers.
- Do not stir after adding water; this layering creates the unique cobbler texture.
- For best results, use fresh cinnamon for a more vibrant flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- Feel free to add nuts or raisins to the batter for additional texture and flavor.
