Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- ½ cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar (for filling)
- 3 tbsp cornstarch or all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup whole milk or buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Strawberry Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced strawberries, ½ cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch (or flour), lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss gently and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Step 2: Prepare Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1½ cups flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly with pea-sized pieces. Stir in milk/buttermilk and vanilla until just combined (do not overmix).
- Step 3: Assemble Cobbler: Pour strawberry mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of topping over the strawberries, leaving some gaps.
- Step 4: Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and thick. Serve warm.
