Ingredients for Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust

Alright, gather ’round! Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this amazing Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust. Don’t skimp on the good stuff, okay? Quality ingredients make ALL the difference!

• 6 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved. And when I say fresh, I MEAN fresh! Get the ripest, reddest ones you can find.
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar. For the strawberry mixture, sweetness is key!
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch. This helps thicken up that beautiful strawberry juice.
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice. A little zing brightens everything up!
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pure vanilla extract, not that imitation stuff, trust me.
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. For that lovely biscuit topping.
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Just a touch of sweetness for the biscuits.
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. Gotta get that rise!
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Works with the baking powder for extra lift.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt. Just a pinch to balance the flavors.
• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes. COLD is super important here! Freezing it for 10 minutes before cutting it up is even better!
• 3/4 cup buttermilk. Makes the biscuits extra tender.
• 2 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing. Makes the biscuit topping golden and gorgeous.
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for sprinkling. Adds a little sparkle and crunch!

How to Make Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust: Step-by-Step

Okay, ready to get baking? This Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust is easier than you think! Just follow these steps, and you’ll be enjoying a warm, delicious cobbler in no time. Don’t worry if you’re not a “perfect” baker – cobblers are supposed to be a little rustic!

Step 1: First things first, let’s get that oven preheating to 375°F (190°C). You’ll want it nice and hot and ready to go when that cobbler is assembled!

Step 2: Now, grab a big bowl and gently toss together those beautiful strawberries, the 3/4 cup of sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Be gentle! You don’t want to squish the berries too much. Just get everything nicely coated. This is gonna be the star of our Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust! Set that bowl aside for now, so the strawberries can get all juicy and happy.

Step 3: In a separate bowl (another big one!), whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything is well combined – no one wants a pocket of baking soda in their biscuit!

Step 4: This is where it gets a little fun! Add those cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Now, you can use a pastry blender for this, but honestly, I just use my fingers! Work the butter into the flour until it looks like coarse crumbs. The smaller, the better, but make sure there are still small, visible pieces of butter. That’s what gives us that flaky, buttery biscuit crust we’re all dreaming about. Be careful, and work quickly before the butter melts!

Step 5: Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. This is SUPER important: DO NOT OVERMIX! Overmixing will make your biscuits tough, and we want them light and fluffy. A few streaks of flour are totally fine. Seriously, stop mixing as soon as everything is mostly combined.

Step 6: Grab that baking dish (a 9×13 inch one works great) and pour in that gorgeous strawberry mixture. Look at all that color!

Step 7: Now, drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the strawberry mixture. Don’t worry about making it perfect – just dollop it on there! You can use a spoon or even an ice cream scoop. Leave a little space between each dollop so they can bake up nicely.

Step 8: Brush the biscuit topping with that melted butter – this will make it golden brown and delicious! Then, sprinkle generously with the remaining sugar. That sugar will caramelize in the oven and give the biscuit crust a lovely little crunch.

Step 9: Pop that Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbly and thick. Keep an eye on it – ovens can be tricky!

Step 10: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. I know it’s tempting to dig in right away, but trust me, it’s worth the wait! Plus, it gives the filling a chance to thicken up a bit more. And that’s it! Enjoy your amazing, homemade Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust!

Frequently Asked Questions About Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust

Got questions? I got answers! Here are a few of the most common questions folks ask me about this amazing Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust. Don’t be shy – if you have more, just ask in the comments!

• Can I freeze Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust?
  Well, you can, but the biscuit topping might get a little soggy when you thaw it. If you’re gonna freeze it, I recommend freezing it before baking. Assemble the whole thing, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. When you’re ready to bake, just pop it in the oven (no need to thaw!) and add about 15-20 minutes to the baking time.
• How do I store leftover Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust?
  Easy peasy! Just cover it loosely with plastic wrap or foil and pop it in the fridge. It’ll keep for about 3 days, but let’s be real, it probably won’t last that long!
• Can I use frozen strawberries for this Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust recipe?
  You can use frozen strawberries, but fresh are definitely best. If you do use frozen, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before adding them to the filling. Otherwise, your cobbler might be a little watery.
• What can I substitute for buttermilk in the sweet biscuit crust?
  Like I mentioned before, you can make a quick buttermilk substitute by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to regular milk. Let it sit for a few minutes, and you’re good to go!
• How do I prevent the biscuit topping from getting too brown?
  If you notice the biscuit topping is browning too quickly, just tent a piece of foil over the top of the cobbler for the last 10-15 minutes of baking. That’ll protect it from getting too dark.

Serving Suggestions for Your Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust

Okay, you’ve got this amazing Strawberry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Crust… now what? Well, here are a few ideas to take it to the NEXT LEVEL! My favorite part is topping it off with a big scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. Mmm!
