Bringing the Magic to Life

Let’s get started on making this delightful dessert:

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until combined.
Pour in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract (if using) and whisk until just combined.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish (do not stir).
Spoon the lemon pie filling over the batter.
Bake at 350F for 45-55 minutes until the edges of the cobbler turn a golden brown.
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
