Pioneer Woman Strawberry Cobbler Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder

How To Make Pioneer Woman Strawberry Cobbler

1. Prep the oven and dish: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish.
2. Make the strawberry filling: In a large bowl, mix strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Pour into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
3. Combine dry topping ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Cut in the butter: Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it in with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Add buttermilk: Stir in buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Top the cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the strawberries, leaving small gaps for the filling to bubble through.
7. Add crunch and bake: Sprinkle coarse sugar over the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
8. Cool and serve: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Recipe Tips

• How to keep cobbler from getting watery: Use cornstarch as directed and avoid overripe, overly juicy strawberries.
• Can I use frozen strawberries? Yes, but thaw and drain them first to reduce excess liquid.
• How to get a golden, crispy topping: Make sure the butter is cold and sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking.
• How do I know when cobbler is done? The topping should be golden and the strawberry filling should be bubbling around the edges.
• Can I make strawberry cobbler ahead of time? Bake it earlier in the day and reheat in the oven before serving.
