Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup hot water
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish thoroughly and set it aside to get ready for the batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and 3/4 cup light brown sugar. Stir well using a whisk or fork to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir just until all ingredients are fully combined into a smooth batter.
- Transfer Batter to Dish: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking dish, smoothing the top gently with the back of a spoon.
- Prepare and Add Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 3/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon using a fork until thoroughly combined. Sprinkle this sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
- Add Hot Water: Carefully pour 1 cup of hot water evenly over the top of the batter and sprinkled topping, ensuring it covers the surface well, which will create a delicious syrup as it bakes.
- Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the cobbler is set and the top is bubbly and golden.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent treat, and enjoy your snickerdoodle-inspired dessert!
Notes
- Make sure the water poured on top is hot to activate the sugar topping into a syrup during baking.
- Use a fresh ground cinnamon for the best flavor.
- Serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream enhances the dessert experience.
- This cobbler can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
