Fresh Strawberry Cobbler is a delightful dessert that combines the natural sweetness of ripe strawberries with a warm, buttery biscuit topping. The strawberries become juicy and tender as they bake, creating a deliciously sweet and tangy filling that contrasts perfectly with the golden, flaky cobbler crust. This easy-to-make dessert is perfect for spring and summer when strawberries are at their peak, and it’s best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Whether for a casual family meal or a special occasion, this cobbler is sure to impress.
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
For the Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the strawberries evenly, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined, forming a thick batter.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the strawberry mixture, leaving some gaps to allow the fruit juices to bubble through.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbly.
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
Serve your Fresh Strawberry Cobbler warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious and comforting dessert!
