PMc’s Caramel Cobbler

This. This is my go-to dessert! It takes just minutes to put together and with such a basic ingredient list, I always have the ingredients to make it.

When I have a dinner party, I can mix it together quickly as I talk to guests and put it in the oven. It’s hot and ready to eat by the time we finish the meal.

Regardless of the copycat caramel cobblers out there on the web, this is my original version that I developed and have been making since long before I had a blog.

The only way you can get a dessert any easier is to purchase one already made and that would totally not be as tasty!

PMc’s Caramel Cobbler is one of those quickly made ‘dump’ type desserts. Do you know what I mean when I say that? Basically, you layer (dump) everything in a pan and bake it. There’s no pulling out the electric mixer, no kneading, and no waiting for something to rise! It’s a straightforward, super-easy layer-and-bake dessert.

real butter I use salted butter
self-rising flour
granulated sugar
whole milk
pure vanilla extract or almond
brown sugar packed
hot water
sweetened whipped cream

The milk, brown sugar, and butter cook to create a rich, creamy caramel sauce hugging the cobbler. It’s best served ~~with a big spoon straight out of the pan~~ warm with good vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream.

Paradise for some people may be a sunny beach with palm trees and cocktails. Paradise for me would be eating as much of this as I wanted without gaining an ounce! #justsayin I’m sure the streets of heaven are lined with PMc’s Caramel Cobbler, it just looks like gold!

PMc’s Caramel Cobbler

First of all, I recommend real butter for this dessert. The caramel sauce will not cook correctly with a substitute.
However, you can substitute all-purpose flour for self-rising flour. To make your own, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. You will need to adjust this ratio for the amount called for in this recipe.
You can use whole milk, 1% or 2%. Typically, I use 2% milk.

Place the butter in your baking pan and melt it in the oven as the oven preheats.

Pro Tip

Do you know this little trick? Whisk your flour instead of sifting it. Works just as well and much faster!

Stir the flour and sugar together.

Add vanilla extract to the milk.

Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir.

Melted butter makes me happy.

Pour the batter over thee butter.

Still pouring 😋

Sprinkle brown sugar over the batter.

Carefully pour hot water over everything.

I made this twice… first time it turned out great and second time it was a flop. Trying again tonight because it was soooooo worth the effort when it turned out the first time.
