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.
