Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Begin by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cobbler will cook evenly and come out perfectly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the granulated sugar with the self-rising flour. This forms the base of your cobbler.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and pourable.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Spread the batter evenly into a lightly greased 9×9 inch baking dish. A proper distribution is key to an even bake.
- Create the Cinnamon-Sugar Layer: Mix the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon and sprinkle it over the batter in the baking dish. This will create a delightful crust.
- Pour Hot Water: Carefully pour the hot water over the cinnamon-sugar layer. Don’t stir—this step is crucial for achieving the right texture.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
- Serving: Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
