Ingredients

Scale

🛒 Ingredients (for one 9-inch baking dish):

For the Strawberry Filling:

4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cobbler Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Optional for Serving:

Vanilla ice cream
Whipped cream
Powdered sugar for dusting


Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Dish

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Make the Strawberry Filling

In a large bowl, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the strawberries are evenly coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3: Prepare the Cobbler Batter

In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and mix until smooth.

Step 4: Add Butter and Batter

Pour melted butter evenly into the baking dish over the strawberries. Carefully pour the batter over the filling. Do not stir; the batter will rise and create the cobbler topping during baking.

Step 5: Bake the Cobbler

Bake for 40–45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Frozen Strawberries: You can use frozen strawberries. Thaw and drain excess liquid before using.
  • Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of cinnamon or almond extract for a deeper flavor.
  • Crispier Top: Sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar over the batter before baking for a lightly crunchy topping.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
