Kitchen Equipment Needed

• 9×13-inch baking dish
• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Rubber spatula

Ingredients

For the Batter:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Syrup:

• 1 ½ cups boiling water

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2. Make the Batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
   • Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
   • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
3. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
   • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
   • Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the batter.
4. Add the Syrup: Carefully pour the boiling water over the entire mixture. Do not stir—the water will create the cobbler’s gooey base as it bakes.
5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cobbler is bubbling around the edges.
6. Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Expert Tips

• Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture for extra warmth.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Snickerdoodle Cobbler is best served warm right after baking, but you can reheat leftovers in the oven or microwave.

Can I use a different sugar?

Yes, you can substitute white sugar for brown sugar in the topping, but the flavor will be less caramel-like.

What if I don’t have whole milk?

You can use 2% milk or even a dairy-free alternative like almond or oat milk.

Storing & Reheating

Storing: Cover the cobbler tightly and store at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheating: Warm individual servings in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or reheat the entire dish in the oven at 325°F until heated through.

Substitutions & Variations

• Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon sugar topping for a crunchy texture.
• Use a mix of cinnamon and cardamom for a unique spice blend.
• Swap boiling water for hot apple cider for a festive twist.
