📝 Ingredients

For the Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (1 stick) melted butter

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Layer

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg (optional)

For the Hot Water Pour

  • 1 ½ cups hot water

Optional Serving

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Whipped cream
  • Caramel drizzle

🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or deep pie dish.

2. Make the Batter

  • Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add milk and vanilla.
  • Stir until smooth.
  • Pour melted butter into the baking dish.
  • Pour batter on top of the butter — don’t mix.

3. Mix the Cinnamon Sugar

  • In a bowl, combine brown sugar + cinnamon (+ nutmeg).
  • Sprinkle the entire mixture evenly over the batter.

4. Magic Step — Hot Water

  • Pour hot water carefully over the top.
  • Do not stir.
    This creates the molten caramel sauce underneath.

5. Bake

  • Bake 40–45 minutes until top is golden and set.
    The bottom will be gooey — this is perfect!

6. Serve

  • Scoop warm into bowls.
  • Top with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate experience.

Method D — Caramel Burst

📜 History

The classic snickerdoodle cookie dates back to 1800s New England, believed to be of German-American origin.
Cobbler desserts, meanwhile, grew from early American settlers baking fruit with biscuit toppings in cast iron pots.
