Fresh Strawberry Cobbler

By nurseliz

Ingredients

• 1 pound of fresh strawberries, rinsed, drained and sliced
• 1 cup of granulated sugar, more or less, divided
• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
• 1 cup of self rising flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest
• 1 cup of milk
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup of melted butter

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the sliced strawberries with 1/3 cup of the sugar, toss and set aside, stirring occasionally. Once the sugar is dissolved well, taste and add additional sugar if needed and let sit until the juices re-form. Stir in lemon juice. Butter an 8 x 8 inch casserole dish; set aside.

Whisk together the self rising flour, the remaining sugar and the lemon zest. Beat together the milk and egg, add to the flour mixture, along with the melted butter and whisk until smooth. Pour the strawberries evenly into the prepared baking dish and pour the batter over the top. Bake at 325 degrees F for about 55 minutes to one hour or until golden brown on top. Serve warm with a drizzle of cream, whipped cream or homemade ice cream. Double ingredients for a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
