This Strawberry Cobbler Recipe is a classic Southern dessert! This easy strawberry cobbler recipe comes together quickly and bakes into a thick, sweet, yet still tart, strawberry layer topped with a cake like topping.
1/2 cup salted butter
1 cup self-rising flour
1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
vanilla ice cream, optional
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Melt butter in a 9x13 casserole dish in the oven as it preheats.
Whisk together the flour, 1¼ cups of sugar, milk and the vanilla in a medium bowl while the butter melts. Pour into the melted butter without stirring.
Add the remaining ¼ cup of sugar to the strawberries, tossing to coat. Spoon the strawberries into the butter and dough mixture without stirring.
Bake until the cobbler crust has turned lightly golden brown and the cobbler is set throughout about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve, topped with vanilla ice cream, if using.
