A quick and easy strawberry cobbler featuring a light, fluffy buttermilk biscuit crust and juicy fresh strawberries, perfect for spring and summer desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 600 grams)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 grams), divided
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces (85 grams)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (240 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Let sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the remaining 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar.
  4. Cut in the chilled, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  5. Add 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional). Stir gently just until combined; do not overmix.
  6. Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Dollop the biscuit dough over the berries in large spoonfuls, covering the surface unevenly.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the biscuit comes out clean. The strawberries should be bubbling around the edges.
  8. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep butter cold to create a flaky crust. Do not overmix the biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Let strawberries macerate to release juices without becoming mushy. Tent with foil if biscuit topping browns too quickly. For a less sweet crust, reduce sugar slightly. Use fresh ripe strawberries for best results. Frozen strawberries can be used but may require draining excess juice.
