½teaspoonsalt
10tablespoonscold butter, diced
½cupbuttermilk , or heavy cream
2tablespoonsmelted butter, or buttermilk
¼cupcoarse sugar, or regular granulated sugar
vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish.
prepare the filling
In a large bowl combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, flour, almond (or vanilla) extract, and salt. Stir together. Transfer to prepared baking dish or skillet.
prepare the cobbler topping
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Combine flour mixture and butter and pulse in a food processor (or cut using forks or a pastry cutter) until fine crumbs form.
Add buttermilk (or cream) and pulse (or stir) until a soft dough forms.
put it together
Using floured hands, gently pat handfuls of dough to 1/4 inch thickness and arrange on top of the strawberry filling.
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until crust is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Brushing the dough with a little buttermilk or melted butter before it goes into the oven helps to achieve that nice golden crust. You can also sprinkle some sugar on top for a tiny crunch (and it looks so pretty), if I have coarse sugar on hand I prefer to use that but regular granulated/white sugar works too.
Serve with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. If I have strawberry sauce or strawberry jam, I like to add a little drizzle on top of the ice cream to really take it to the next level. Whipped cream is also a great topping for this cobbler!
The strawberries can easily be substituted or supplemented with other berries like blackberries, blueberries, or raspberries. Or if you're really feeling extra, do a combination of all!
