How to Make Classic Snickerdoodle Cobbler

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Make the Batter

3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
5. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish—do not stir.

6. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
7. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.

Step 4: Pour the Hot Water
