Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Liquid Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (180 ml) whole milk
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) hot water
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by coating a 9×13-inch dish with butter or cooking spray and heating the oven to a warm 375°F (190°C).
- Craft the foundational batter by whisking flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder in a spacious mixing bowl. Incorporate milk and melted butter, stirring until just combined, creating a dense, luscious mixture.
- Distribute the batter uniformly across the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even layer that will serve as the cobbler’s base.
- Create a fragrant cinnamon-sugar blend by thoroughly mixing brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a compact bowl.
- Generously dust the entire batter surface with the aromatic cinnamon-sugar mixture, allowing it to cascade evenly across the landscape of the dessert.
- Gently cascade hot water over the entire dish, allowing it to settle without disturbing the layers. This liquid will magically transform into a decadent sauce during baking.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven, allowing it to bake for 40-45 minutes until the surface achieves a golden-brown hue and the edges become tantalizingly bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and permit the cobbler to rest for approximately 10 minutes, enabling the sauce to thicken and develop a rich, luxurious consistency.
- Serve while still warm, accompanied by a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to elevate this classic dessert to extraordinary heights.
Notes
- Ensure the batter is just combined, overmixing can lead to a tough and dense texture that ruins the cobbler’s delicate consistency.
- Use hot water precisely as directed, creating a magical self-saucing effect that develops a rich, gooey bottom layer during baking.
- Experiment with alternative spices like nutmeg or cardamom to give the classic snickerdoodle flavor a unique twist while maintaining the dessert’s comforting essence.
- For gluten-free variations, substitute regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free blend, maintaining the same measurements and mixing technique to preserve the cobbler’s delightful texture.
