Skillet Strawberry Cobbler

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190℃).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 cup of sugar.

Step 3

Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth. Add a little bit more milk if needed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until well coated.

Step 5

Add the strawberry mixture to a 10-inch cast iron skillet and spread it out into an even layer. Drop spoonfuls of batter over the strawberries.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the cobbler warm with a few scoops of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
