Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter, stirring gently until just combined to form a smooth batter.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the prepared batter into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the packed brown sugar over the top of the batter, then evenly dust with ground cinnamon for that signature snickerdoodle flavor.
- Add Hot Water: Carefully pour the hot water over the entire surface of the cobbler mixture, ensuring you do not stir it in. This creates a delicious cinnamon sugar syrup as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and you see bubbling around the edges, indicating it’s cooked through and syrupy.
- Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Do not stir after adding the hot water to allow the syrup to form properly.
- Use a greased baking dish to prevent sticking.
- For best results, use fresh cinnamon and high-quality butter.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
- This dessert pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
