The magic happens when you layer a tangy-sweet lemon pie filling over a rich buttermilk cobbler batter in your baking dish.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or whole milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon extract (optional)
  • 21 oz can lemon pie filling or lemon curd

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Place butter in a 9x9 inch baking dish and melt in preheated oven for 3-4 minutes until fully melted. Remove from oven.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

  3. 3

    Whisk in the buttermilk, vanilla, and lemon extract (if using) until a smooth batter forms.

  4. 4

    Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish (do not stir).

  5. 5

    Spoon the lemon pie filling or lemon curd evenly over the batter.

  6. 6

    Bake for 45-55 minutes until puffed and golden brown around the edges.

  7. 7

    Remove from oven and let cool slightly. The lemon filling will be a pudding on the bottom!

  8. 8

    Serve warm, topped with whipped cream, ice cream, lemon slices, powdered sugar, or desired toppings.
