Description

A simple recipe for a classic Southern strawberry cobbler with a sweet biscuit topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with 1/2 cup of the sugar and the lemon juice. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  3. Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in the milk until just combined to form a soft dough. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the top of the strawberries.
  8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • If your strawberries are very large, cut them into quarters instead of slices.
  • You can use frozen strawberries; thaw them first and drain off excess liquid before mixing with sugar.
