Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 2 pounds (900g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 2¼ cups (270g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 9 tablespoons (120g) unsalted butter
- 1¼ cups (300ml) milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Activate the oven to 350°F and position a 13×9-inch baking vessel to prepare for the dessert creation.
- Slice strawberries into halves, introducing them to a mixing vessel with sugar. Allow the fruit to release its natural essence and develop an intense sweetness while resting.
- Place butter into the baking dish, transferring it to the warming oven. Monitor the butter as it liquefies, ensuring it transforms without darkening excessively.
- Craft the foundational mixture by combining flour, leavening agent, seasoning, and remaining sugar in a separate container. Incorporate milk and vanilla, blending gently until ingredients harmonize without aggressive stirring.
- Remove the butter-filled dish from the heated environment. Carefully cascade the prepared batter across the melted butter’s surface, creating an even landscape.
- Elegantly distribute the macerated strawberries atop the batter, leaving behind any accumulated liquid to prevent potential sogginess.
- Slide the assembled creation into the oven, allowing it to transform for approximately one hour. Watch for a golden exterior and effervescent fruit edges signaling perfect doneness.
- Exercise patience by permitting the cobbler to settle and cool for quarter-hour, enabling flavors to meld and structure to stabilize.
- Elevate the experience by serving slightly warm, potentially accompanied by a luxurious scoop of vanilla ice cream for complementary temperature and richness.
Notes
- Gather summer’s juiciest strawberries, ensuring they’re ripe and bursting with sweet flavor for maximum deliciousness.
- Softening butter directly in the baking dish creates a golden, crispy base that transforms the entire cobbler’s texture and taste.
- Avoiding overmixing the batter keeps the cobbler light and tender, preventing a dense or tough final result.
