Fresh strawberries make this easy cobbler wonderful. It's a light and refreshing summer dessert. The crust is sweet and crunchy. When combined with the macerated strawberries, it's a wonderful bite. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a simple strawberry dessert. I like to take a basic recipe and tweak it a bit. I live just up the interstate from Poteet, Texas and I absolutely love strawberries! This recipe works best when you use fresh strawberries. Don't worry if the berries aren't sweet enough... macerating them adds to the flavor.

Ingredients :
- PREPARING THE BERRIES
- 1 pound(s) fresh strawberries
- hulled and quartered
- 1/2 cup(s) granulated white sugar
- 1/2 cup(s) water
- COBBLER CRUST
- 1/4 cup(s) butter (half of a stick/softened)
- 1 cup(s) granulated sugar
- 1 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/2 cup(s) whole milk (reduced fat/skimmed milks just aren't as tasty)
- 1 teaspoon(s) good quality vanilla
- 1/4 cup(s) reserved strawberry juice
Intructions :
- Preparing the berries: clean/hull/quarter the strawberries.
- Add sugar and water. Allow berries to soften and release juice for 20 minutes or until soft & yummy. Reserve 1/4 cup of released juice (you'll need it in a bit).
- Cream together softened butter and sugar.
- Sift together flour/baking powder/salt.
- Mix milk and vanilla together in a separate measuring cup.
- Alternating between wet and dry (I usually do it in halves)
- add to creamed butter/sugar mixture. Blend until all is incorporated and forms a thick batter.
- Spray the inside of a 9x9 baking pan with a non-stick spray of your choice. Spread the batter into the pan (it doesn't have to even
- just make sure it goes corner to corner and edge to edge).
- Pour strawberries on top of the batter and spread them out a bit (don't mush them in
- just layer them). Add the reserved strawberry juice.
- Bake in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and delicious. Don't worry if the browning isn't even... this is a cobbler
- not cake.
- Remove and allow to cool a bit. This is the yummiest served warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
