Description
A warm, comforting fresh strawberry cobbler made with juicy strawberries, a buttery golden crust, and a hint of lemon and vanilla — a simple dessert perfect for any season.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 3/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (divided use)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
- 3/4 cup milk (whole or low-fat)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine sliced strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of flour. Let sit for 10 minutes to release juices.
3. In another bowl, whisk together remaining flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining sugar.
4. Add melted butter and milk to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
5. Pour batter into the greased dish, then spoon strawberry mixture evenly over the top.
6. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
7. Cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
For frozen strawberries, thaw and drain before using and add an extra tablespoon of flour.
Taste strawberries before adding sugar to adjust sweetness.
For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
To make vegan, substitute butter with plant-based butter and milk with almond or oat milk.
Let the cobbler rest before serving to help the filling thicken.
