STRAWBERRY COBBLER

Strawberry Cobbler. This easy to make cobbler is loaded up with fresh strawberries, and topped with a sweet, vanilla cake that gets a crisp crust on the outside and is soft and buttery on the inside. Top with some vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat!

It comes together quick and easy too. The strawberries are mixed with some lemon juice, cornstarch and a bit of sugar which creates that wonderful strawberry sauce on the bottom of the dish. And the biscuit topping is my all time favorite. It's more of a cake than a biscuit. It's so soft and buttery inside, but it still gets that crisp crust on the outside like a biscuit.

WHAT IS A COBBLER?

A cobbler is a dessert that has fresh fruit and a biscuit like topping. Since you drop the biscuit dough on top of the fruit it gives a cobbled appearance when it's done baking. I like to use a 1/4 measuring cup and just spoon the batter on top of the fruit.

INGREDIENTS:

• Strawberry Filling
• 1 lb strawberries diced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Topping

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons melted butter

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Add the diced strawberries to a 2 qt ceramic baking dish, or a deep pie dish.
3. Add the sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir to coat the strawberries in the mixture. Let sit while preparing the cake topping.
4. In a medium size mixing bowl add the sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir to combine.
5. Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
6. Spoon the batter over the top of the strawberries.
7. Bake at 375 for 35 minutes until the top is crispy and golden brown.
8. Serve cobbler warm or room temperature. Top with ice cream for a special treat!
