Servings: 6
Ingredients
Strawberry Filling:
- 2 lbs. Fresh Strawberries, sliced (about 4 1/2 cups)
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Cobbler Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups Flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 12 Tablespoons Cold Butter (1 1/2 sticks, cut into cubes)
- 3/4 cup Buttermilk (or Heavy Cream)
- Sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 Tablespoon of butter. Add sugar, sliced strawberries, and cornstarch. Stir and cook for about 7-8 minutes or until the juices start to thicken. Stir in vanilla extract. Transfer to a 2 to 2 1/2 qt baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
- Make the Cobbler Topping: In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in 12 Tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) of butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender, a fork, or your hands until it resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in buttermilk or heavy cream and mix until the dough comes together.
- Drop the cobbler topping by tablespoons over the strawberries. There may be spaces between, but the cobbler topping will puff up as it bakes.
- Generously sprinkle with sparkling or granulated sugar. Bake for about 36-44 minutes or until it becomes a light golden color and the fruit is bubbling. If you use a smaller pan, you may need to bake it longer.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.
Notes
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes! I would suggest cooking them with the sugar and cornstarch on medium heat for a longer time -- about 12 minutes -- to release some of the liquid.
What if I don't have cornstarch?
You can substitute with all-purpose or cake flour.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Bake and cool completely and then reheat in a 300 degree oven for 10-15 minutes before serving.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3-4 days. Reheat before serving.
Can I make this in a cast iron skillet?
Absolutely! A 10-inch skillet works beautifully and keeps the cobbler warm longer.
