Steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. I usually get it heated up while I set everything else out.
2. In a big bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with 1/2 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons lemon juice till they are well coated. doesn’t have to be perfect but its gotta be even.
3. Pour that berry mix into a greased 8-inch baking dish so it covers the bottom evenly.
4. In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This makes sure the dry stuff is mixed right.
5. Stir in the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients until the batter is just combined. Its okay if it stays a bit lumpy, that actually adds character.
6. Dollop the batter evenly over the strawberries with a spoon, trying not to completely cover the fruit so that you can see it peeking through.
7. Lightly flatten the dollops with the back of your spoon so you have patches of batter over the berries.
8. Pop the dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. You want the batter to turn golden and the berry juices to start bubbling.
9. Let it cool a little before serving. Then, enjoy your easy and delicious Strawberry Cobbler!

I love this recipe because making it feels laid back and fun, plus I get that mouthwatering mix of textures and flavors every time. Enjoy!

FAQ

Q: Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

A: You can, but its best if you defrost them first and drain off the extra water cause too much liquid can mess up the cobbler's texture.

Q: How do I know when the cobbler is done?

A: Look for a golden brown top and bubbling fruit filling, which is a sure sign that its ready to be taken out of the oven.

Q: Can I swap out strawberries for other berries?

A: Yeah, you can try using blueberries or raspberries instead but keep in mind it might change the flavor a bit.

Q: Do I need to overmix the batter?

A: Nah, just stir it gently until its combined, overmixing can make the topping tough and chewy.

Q: What should I serve with this cobbler?

A: It tastes great warm by itself or even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.

STRAWBERRY COBBLER Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Fresh strawberries: if you cant get fresh ones, try using frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained to avoid extra water
Granulated sugar: you could swap this for brown sugar which gives a richer flavor but keep in mind it might slightly change the texture
Lemon juice: if you dont have lemon juice handy, a touch of lime juice works pretty well as a substitute
Milk: almond milk or soy milk can replace regular milk if you’re looking for a non-dairy option, though they might add a different flavor

Pro Tips

1. Try giving the strawberries a little extra time in the sugar and lemon juice before you add the batter. It helps them release more of their natural juices and makes the fruit extra flavorful.
2. Be careful not to overmix your batter. A few lumps are totally fine and actually help keep the cobbler light and fluffy.
3. When dolloping the batter on top, aim for an uneven spread so you get crispy edges and soft berry centers that really make the cobbler interesting.
4. If you want a bit more tang or flavor depth, you could add a little lemon zest or even a pinch of cinnamon to the strawberries for an extra kick.
