Preparation

  2. Pour in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract, then whisk just until the batter is combined.
Assembly & Baking

  2. Spoon the lemon pie filling gently over the batter.

Notes

This cobbler creates its own crust as it bakes, resulting in a unique texture. Do not stir the batter and lemon filling together for the best results.
