Ingredients

For the Strawberry Mixture:

  • 2 lbs strawberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

For the Batter:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures it’s at the right temperature when your cobbler is ready to go in.

2. Prepare the Strawberries

Wash the strawberries thoroughly. Remove the stems and cut them into quarters. Place the strawberries in a bowl and toss them with 1/2 cup of sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Set this mixture aside to let the flavors meld together.

3. Make the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup sugar, eggs, milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk everything together until it’s well incorporated. The batter should be smooth and free of lumps.

4. Melt the Butter

Place 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or a baking dish. Put it into the preheated oven and let the butter melt. This step creates a deliciously crispy edge for your cobbler.

5. Assemble the Cobbler

Once the butter has melted, carefully remove the skillet or baking dish from the oven. Pour the batter into the melted butter and spread it evenly. Next, scatter the prepared strawberries on top of the batter. Don’t forget to pour in all the juicy goodness from the strawberry mixture.

6. Bake

Return the dish to the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes. Keep an eye on it, and look for a golden-brown top. The batter should be set in the middle and the strawberries should be bubbling.

7. Let It Cool

After baking, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it set for 15 minutes. This cooling period helps the flavors to settle and makes it easier to cut.

8. Serve

Cut into squares and serve warm. For an extra treat, top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The creamy ice cream contrasts beautifully with the warm, fruity cobbler.

Enjoy!

This strawberry cobbler is a delightful dessert that combines simplicity with rich, comforting flavors. The sweet and tart strawberries paired with the buttery topping make it a standout choice for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or just treating yourself, this dessert is sure to be a hit.

Enjoy every delicious bite of your homemade strawberry cobbler!
