SOUTHERN HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY COBBLER RECIPE

Summer berries scream for homemade desserts like this Strawberry Cobbler. 

I made biscuits with all butter for the top crust of my strawberry cobbler. I made them using all butter so they’re more like a pastry than biscuits.

Brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and Amaretta combine with strawberries and make a jammy strawberry filling.

INGREDIENTS FOR STRAWBERRY COBBLER

1. Flour.
2. Baking soda.
3. Salt.
4. Butter.
5. Buttermilk.
6. Cinnamon and sugar.
7. Strawberries. You can use fresh or frozen berries. If you use frozen, you do not have to thaw them first. Furthermore, you can stem the strawberries and measure them or measure them after you cut them up. You can double the strawberries and leave the topping ingredient amounts the same. It all depends on what crust-to-filling ratio you prefer. I like as much or more crust to the filling.
8. Brown sugar. Light or dark brown.
9. Cornstarch. It can be omitted, but it makes the sauce thicker.
10. Vanilla extract. You can use all vanilla and omit the amaretto if you want.
11. Amaretta liquor. Or, you can use 1 tablespoon of almond liquor. Refer to Alcohol Substitutions in Cooking for more subs.

Furthermore, you can substitute any berry or fruit for strawberries. You can even mix them and use blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries for example.

METHOD FOR MAKING HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY COBBLER

First, you’ll make the dough for the top. I made it then refrigerated it to get the butter really cold so that’s why you’ll make it first. 

The method is the same for making biscuits. You can do it by hand. I chose to use my food processor. 

In a food processor, add the flour, baking powder, and butter. Pulse until the mix clumps together to form larger pea-size balls. Drizzle in the buttermilk until the dough is “shaggy” looking. (The dough will be a little dry.) Turn the dough out onto a sheet or wax paper or parchment paper and pat it into a 1-inch thick square. Wrap the paper around the dough and place it in the freezer while you make the filling.

In a 10-12 inch baking dish, add the strawberries, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and amaretto. Toss to coat the berries, then level them evenly in the pan.

Take the dough out of the freezer and cut the dough into 1-inch squares. Place the squares on top of the strawberry mixer. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush the tops of the biscuits with the butter. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the top. I used about 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
