Ingredients
Strawberry Base
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Cobbler Batter
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Clean the strawberries and slice them into thick slices, or halving smaller berries. This ensures even cooking and a luscious texture in the finished cobbler.
- Assemble the Fruit Layer: Lightly coat a 9×9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place the sliced strawberries into the dish, then sprinkle them evenly with 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat the strawberries with sugar, then dot the berries with small pieces of the softened butter for richness.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and milk. Stir just until the flour is barely moistened — be careful not to overmix, as this could make the cobbler topping rubbery.
- Top and Bake: Pour the batter evenly over the strawberries in the baking dish. Bake the cobbler in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour, or until the topping is lightly golden brown and the berry juices are bubbling around the edges.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the topping tender and light.
- If self-rising flour is unavailable, you can substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
