Strawberry Cobbler Recipe
Description
Strawberry Cobbler Recipe starts by melting butter in the baking dish, then layering sugared strawberries over this base. A batter made of flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, milk, and optional vanilla is poured on top without stirring. The assembled cobbler bakes until the topping is golden and the fruit filling bubbly. The butter helps create a moist, flavorful bottom, while the biscuit-like topping provides a slight crust. The sugared strawberries retain their shape and juiciness, contrasting with the soft, cakey layer above.
This cobbler serves well warm, either by itself or with ice cream or whipped cream. It highlights seasonal strawberries or frozen ones for a sweet ending to a meal. The recipe’s simplicity and straightforward method make it accessible for home cooks looking to make from-scratch fruit desserts.
Variations include using gluten-free or dairy-free substitutes to accommodate dietary needs. The recipe can be made ahead and reheated, with instructions for freezing to preserve leftovers. You can also reverse the order of batter and strawberries if desired, adjusting texture slightly. The clear baking time and temperature support consistent results.
Ingredients
- 1/2 /2 cup butter salted
- 4 cups strawberries hulled and halved
- 1/2 /2 cup sugar
Strawberry Cobbler Batter
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 /4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup milk
Optional Ingredients
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Add sliced butter to the baking dish and place in the oven while it preheats to allow the butter to melt. Remove the baking dish once the butter has melted.
- Prep the strawberries. Add strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar to a bowl and toss to combine.
- Make the cobbler batter. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the milk and whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Add strawberries. Pour the sugared strawberries over the melted butter, evenly distributing over the melted butter. Do not stir.
- Add the cobbler batter. Pour the cobbler batter evenly over the strawberries, do not stir.
- Bake. Bake until lightly golden brown on top, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest about 3 minutes.
- Serve. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can prepare the strawberry cobbler in advance, storing it covered in the refrigerator and reheating before serving.
- For freezing, bake it in a freezer-safe dish, cool completely, then wrap tightly and freeze up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheat gently in the oven covered with foil for about 20 minutes, or in 30-second intervals in the microwave until warm.
- Substitute gluten-free flour blends for a gluten-free version, and use dairy-free milk and butter alternatives to make it dairy-free.
- You may replace sugar with a sugar-free substitute to lower sugar content.
- If using self-rising flour, use 1 cup and omit baking powder and salt to adjust leavening.
