Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and diced)
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them in halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries with 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss until evenly coated and pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, diced butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Using a spoon or your hands, drop the dough in small mounds over the strawberry filling, leaving some gaps for the filling to bubble through.
If desired, sprinkle ground cinnamon over the dough topping for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling.
Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
