Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish and place it in the oven to melt for 3-4 minutes. Remove from the oven once the butter is melted.
Prepare the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Add the lemon filling: Spoon the lemon pie filling or curd evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden and puffed.
Let cool: Let the cobbler sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

Blueberry Lemon Cobbler: Add fresh or frozen blueberries to the lemon pie filling for a fruity twist.
Berries Cobbler: You can also add raspberries or blackberries to the pie filling for a mixed berry lemon cobbler.
Make it Lighter: Substitute the butter with coconut oil and use almond milk for a lighter, dairy-free version of the cobbler.
