Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Filling
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare Strawberry Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, toss the strawberries with ½ cup of sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch until evenly coated. Set this mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld and thicken slightly.
- Make Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining ½ cup sugar. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until you form a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour the batter into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly over the batter without stirring, allowing the fruit to bubble through the topping as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the cobbler top is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. For an extra treat, top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- You can use frozen strawberries if fresh ones are unavailable; just thaw and drain them well before use.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to enhance the flavor and texture.
