Preheat Oven

Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven for 3–4 minutes. Remove once fully melted.

Mix the Batter

In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add milk, vanilla, and lemon extract (if using) and whisk until smooth.Baking powder for crumb cake

Assemble the Cobbler

Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the dish—do not stir. Spoon the lemon pie filling or curd over the batter in an even layer.

Bake

Bake for 45–55 minutes until the cobbler is puffed and golden around the edges. The filling will settle beneath the crust.

Cool & Serve

Let cool slightly before serving warm with toppings like whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, lemon zest, or powdered sugar.
