Ingredients:
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (900g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided (200g)
- 9 tablespoons unsalted butter (120g)
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour (270g)
- 2½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1¼ cups milk (300ml)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Directions:
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 13×9-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Strawberries: In a large bowl, mix the hulled and halved strawberries with ⅓ cup of sugar. Let them macerate while you prepare the batter. This process will release the berries’ natural juices, making the cobbler even more delicious.
- Melt the Butter: Place the butter in the baking dish and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let the butter melt for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t brown too much.
- Make the Batter: While the butter is melting, whisk together the flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and the remaining ⅔ cup of sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Once the butter is melted, remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the batter over the butter, spreading it evenly. Then, spoon the macerated strawberries over the top, leaving any excess liquid in the bowl.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and the strawberry juices are bubbling around the edges.
- Let It Cool: Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. For an extra indulgent touch, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips for the Perfect Strawberry Cobbler:
- Choose ripe strawberries: The riper and juicier the strawberries, the sweeter and more flavorful your cobbler will be.
- Don’t overmix the batter: Stir the ingredients together just until combined to keep the cobbler light and tender.
- Serve warm: While the cobbler is delightful at room temperature, serving it warm with a dollop of ice cream elevates it to a whole new level.
This Strawberry Cobbler recipe is a wonderful way to celebrate the flavors of summer. With its juicy strawberries and buttery, golden crust, it’s guaranteed to be a hit. Enjoy!
