Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Strawberries: In a bowl, combine the strawberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the strawberries and let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
- Make the Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the strawberry mixture into a greased baking dish. Spoon the batter over the strawberries, spreading it gently to cover them.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
