My fiance’s favorite fruit is strawberry. But I only eat strawberry if it’s paired with something sweet like chocolate or ice cream. I just don’t like how tart it is. I’ve had some really good quality, expensive, super juicy and sweet strawberries too, but I think my first reaction is to flinch because I am so accustomed to tart strawberries.
I bought a bunch of strawberries recently for my fiance. But with all the food around the house, we ended up neglecting those strawberries and they started to go bad. So I decided to use them all up in a strawberry cobbler. Oh. My. Lord. It was so good we nearly finished entire cobble in one sitting. I think it became one of my top 5 desserts, and my fiance now loves strawberries even more than he already did. It’s been days since I made it and he still brings it up.
So if you also have some strawberries on hand and you think they are a little too sour, use them up with this recipe!
- Strawberry Ingredients:
- 3 cups strawberries
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- Dough Ingredients:
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- a pinch of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 56 grams cold butter
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg for egg wash
- Recipe:
- chop the strawberries into large pieces – they break down a lot and disintegrate so keep them on the larger side
- mix the strawberries with all the strawberry ingredients
- put them in a 7.5 inch by 6 inch casserole dish or a small cake pan
- place it in the oven preheated at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes then set aside

- work the cold butter into the flour, pressing it into long and thin shards
- stir together the buttermilk and vanilla
- add the liquid into the flour and stir with a fork
- lightly knead the dough and flatten it with your hands
- fold it over on itself, flatten it, and fold it over again – you want to create layers of dough
- flatten the dough to about 1/2 inch thick
- rip and place pieces of the dough all over the top of the strawberries
- whisk the egg until it is homogenous and use a pastry brush to lightly brush the top of the dough with egg
- increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake for about 30 minutes until the top is throughly golden brown and you see strawberries bubble up the sides
- scoop out onto plates and serve it warm with ice cream!
