5cupssliced fresh strawberries(measured AFTER being hulled and sliced)
2/3cupwhite sugar
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1tbsplemon juice
Cobbler Topping
1 3/4cupall-purpose flour
1/4cupwhite sugar
4teaspoonsbaking powder
1/2cupsalted butter softened
1cupmilk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F
Grease a 9×13 baking dish with butter and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix strawberries, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice, then place into the bottom of the pan.
Cobbler Topping
In a small bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture is coarse crumbs.
Add in the milk stirring until the ingredients are combined. Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons over strawberry mixture like dumplings.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and baked all the way through, and the strawberry filling is bubbling. If the topping cooks before the filling is bubbling, then place aluminum foil over the top to prevent it from overbrowning and continuing to bake.
Remove and cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream on top.
Notes
You can also top this dessert with a dollop of whipped cream.
