Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar (plus extra for topping)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (plus extra for topping)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Your Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or a similar sized oven-safe pan with butter to prevent sticking and to promote an even golden crust.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the cinnamon sugar throughout the batter.
- Incorporate Butter and Wet Ingredients: Cut cold butter into small cubes and blend it into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined for a fluffy but tender batter.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Mix extra sugar with cinnamon in a small dish. This mixture will be sprinkled generously over the cobbler before baking, creating a crisp and flavorful crust.
- Bake Until Golden and Bubbling: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan, then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar topping. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use cold butter to keep the batter tender and achieve a crumbly texture.
- Do not overmix the batter; stir only until ingredients are just combined to avoid a dense cobbler.
- Use freshly ground cinnamon for a more intense, fresh flavor.
- Check the cobbler after 30 minutes as oven temperatures vary to prevent overbaking.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture; leftovers reheat well.
