Ingredients
– 1 cup buttermilk at room temperature
– 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest (from 1 1/2 medium lemons)
– 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
– 1 cup store-bought or homemade lemon curd
Instructions
1-First, preheat the oven to 350°F. Melt the unsalted butter in an 8×8-inch baking dish in the oven for about 4 to 5 minutes, or melt it in the microwave and pour it into the dish.
2-In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest, and 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder.
3-Slowly add 1 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, whisking until combined with some small lumps.
4-Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish without stirring. Evenly dollop 1 cup lemon curd over the batter.
5-Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden-brown and bubbling at the edges. Let the cobbler cool for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the lemon curd to set.
6-Serve warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a side of fresh berries for added zest.

🍯 Using homemade lemon curd adds richer flavor and smoother texture than store-bought.

🍨 Pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or fresh berries, and leftovers reheat well in the oven.
