Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, half the granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the whole milk, egg yolks, melted butter, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  4. Gradually incorporate the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add the remaining sugar and beat until glossy.
  6. Fold the beaten egg whites into the batter gently using a spatula.
  7. Pour the batter into the buttered baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving with whipped cream or ice cream.
