Q: Can I use oil instead of butter?

A: While you can, it's not recommended. Butter is essential for the rich flavor and structure of a true cobbler. Oil will result in a flatter, less decadent flavor and a slightly greasier texture. Stick to butter for the best Snickerdoodle Cobbler .

Q: Why do I need cream of tartar?

A: Cream of tartar (a byproduct of winemaking) is acidic and is what gives snickerdoodles their signature tangy flavor and chewy texture. When combined with baking soda (or baking powder, which contains soda), it acts as a powerful leavening agent, creating the cobbler's soft, airy rise.

Q: Can I add fruit to this cobbler?

A: You can, but it will change the nature of the dessert from a Snickerdoodle Cobbler to a Cinnamon-Apple Cobbler (or other fruit). If adding fruit, use 2-3 cups of diced apples or peaches, tossed in a tablespoon of flour and a dash of sugar, and place them on top of the melted butter before pouring the batter.

Q: How do I know when the cobbler is fully baked?

A: The top should be a deep golden brown, and when gently pressed in the center, it should feel firm, not jiggly. You should also see the thick, syrupy sauce bubbling vigorously around the edges of the dish.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place 1/2 cup butter in a 9×13 inch baking dish and melt it in the preheating oven.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar.

3. Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Whisk gently until the batter is just combined; do not overmix.

4. Carefully remove the hot dish from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir.

5. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.

6. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving warm with ice cream.

Notes

Use room temperature milk to help the batter mix better.

Do not overmix the batter to keep the crust tender.

Best served warm with vanilla bean ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
