Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Wet Ingredients and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons/113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare strawberries by slicing and mixing with sugar, allowing them to release natural juices for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
- Position oven rack in center and heat to 350°F (175°C), ensuring even temperature distribution.
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and facilitate easy serving.
- Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, creating a uniform base for the cobbler topping.
- Incorporate milk and melted butter into dry mixture, gently stirring until just combined to maintain a light texture.
- Transfer macerated strawberries into prepared baking dish, spreading them in an even layer to ensure consistent fruit distribution.
- Carefully dollop and spread batter over strawberry mixture, covering most of the fruit surface for an attractive presentation.
- Place cobbler in preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, watching for a golden-brown topping and bubbling fruit edges.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes, which helps the filling set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, optionally accompanied by vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Choose ripe, sweet strawberries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness in your cobbler.
- Allow strawberries to macerate in sugar to release their juices and create a deeper, more concentrated fruity syrup.
- Use room temperature milk and butter for smoother batter consistency and better ingredient integration.
- Customize the cobbler by experimenting with mixed berries or adding a sprinkle of lemon zest for brightness.
