Description

This delightful Strawberry Cobbler recipe features a buttery, golden-brown crust baked to perfection over sweet, juicy strawberries. Easy to prepare and perfect for dessert or a special treat, this classic Southern-style cobbler combines fresh strawberries with a simple, tender batter for a luscious and comforting fruit dessert.


Ingredients

Strawberry Mixture

  • 4 cups strawberries, capped and sliced
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Batter

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1¼ cup granulated sugar, divided (1 cup for batter, ¼ cup for strawberries)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
  2. Melt Butter: Place the unsalted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven as it preheats to melt the butter fully.
  3. Prepare Strawberries: In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and ¼ cup of granulated sugar, stirring gently to evenly coat them. Set this mixture aside to macerate.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup of granulated sugar until well combined.
  5. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients to form the cobbler batter, mixing thoroughly but gently.
  6. Remove Butter: Carefully take the baking dish with the melted butter out of the oven, ensuring the butter is evenly spread across the dish.
  7. Pour Batter: Slowly pour the prepared batter over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring, allowing the butter to naturally mix as it bakes.
  8. Add Strawberries: Evenly spread the sugared strawberries over the top of the batter. Do not stir. The batter will rise over the strawberries during baking, creating a beautiful cobbler texture.
  9. Bake Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the center of the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the batter is golden brown and fully cooked through.
  10. Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for about 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to set. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Using fresh, ripe strawberries enhances the flavor and sweetness of the cobbler.
  • Do not stir the batter and strawberries after assembling; the unique texture depends on baking them without mixing.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days and reheated gently before serving.
