Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp lemon zest, divided
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 cup hot water
• Fresh lemon slices, according to taste
• Powdered sugar, according to taste
• Cooking spray, for greasing the dish

Method

1. Heat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray for this Lemon Cobbler.
2. Whisk the 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl, then stir in the 1/2 cup milk, 1/3 cup melted butter and 1 tablespoon of the lemon zest until just combined.
3. Pour the lemon zest batter into the greased 9-inch dish and spread it level without packing it down.
4. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar with the 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a separate bowl, then stir in the 1/3 cup lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon zest and the 1 cup hot water until the sugar dissolves.
5. Pour the hot lemon juice mixture carefully over the batter in the dish without stirring, so the cobbler forms its own sauce underneath as it bakes.
6. Lay fresh lemon slices across the top of the unstirred batter and bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes until the cobbler top is golden brown and set.
7. Cool the baked cobbler for 15 minutes while its lemon sauce continues to set, then dust the top generously with powdered sugar before serving it warm.
