Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Filling
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Cobbler Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For Serving
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare the strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss gently until the strawberries are well coated, then set aside to macerate.
- Make the cobbler batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Then, mix in the melted butter until the batter is smooth.
- Assemble the cobbler: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and pour the batter evenly into it. Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly over the top, spreading it gently but don’t mix it in.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen strawberries; just be sure to thaw and drain them well before using.
- Try other fruit variations such as blueberries, blackberries, or peaches for a different flavor profile.
- For a less sweet cobbler, reduce the sugar in the batter according to your taste.
- To avoid a soggy bottom, make sure your baking dish is greased properly.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
