Description
Strawberry cobbler is a delightful dessert that combines the sweetness of ripe strawberries with a buttery, biscuit-like topping. It’s perfect for any occasion, whether a family gathering, summer barbecue, or just a sweet craving.
Ingredients
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup sugar, divided
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or an equivalent-sized dish.
- In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss until the strawberries are well-coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk and vanilla extract to form a thick batter.
- Spoon the batter evenly over the strawberries in the baking dish. Don’t worry if some of the strawberries are exposed; the topping will spread and cover them as it bakes.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbling.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover strawberry cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or microwave individual servings for 30-45 seconds.
- For a crumbly topping, use a fork or pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized crumbs form.
- For a more indulgent treat, serve the cobbler warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge before baking. Just add extra baking time if cold from the fridge.
