Delicious Strawberry Cobbler just in time for using up all those ripe summer strawberries available right now! So easy to make with just a few pantry and fridge ingredients, strawberries, and of course ice cream for serving!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
For the Strawberry Filling
- 4 cups sliced strawberries
- ⅔ cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons flour
- ½ teaspoon almond extract or vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
For the Cobbler Topping
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons cold butter diced
- ½ cup buttermilk or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or buttermilk
- ¼ cup coarse 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!
