Description
This strawberry cobbler is everything you want in a fruit dessert: jammy, sweet strawberries nestled under a soft, golden, buttery crust with a hint of vanilla and just enough crisp on the edges to make each bite sing. It’s comforting, it’s crowd-pleasing, and best of all — it’s easy. One bowl, one baking dish, and a whole lot of joy. Perfect for backyard gatherings, Sunday dinners, or simply because strawberries were on sale.
Ingredients
-
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
-
¾ cup granulated sugar (plus 1 tbsp for sprinkling)
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1½ teaspoons baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
-
¾ cup whole milk
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar size.
-
Prepare the strawberries. In a bowl, combine the strawberries, ¼ cup of the sugar, and the lemon juice. Toss and set aside to let the fruit macerate.
-
Make the batter. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining ½ cup of sugar. Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla until a smooth batter forms.
-
Assemble the cobbler. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Do not stir. Spoon the strawberries and all their juices evenly over the batter.
-
Bake. Sprinkle the top with the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the berries are bubbly and caramelized at the edges.
-
Cool and serve. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before serving. Serve warm on its own, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
-
You can use frozen strawberries — just thaw and drain them first.
-
Add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for a warm twist.
-
Don’t mix the strawberries into the batter. The magic happens when they bake into it!
