Strawberry Cobbler

I know, I know. Who makes a cobbler without peaches?!?! I have been on a strawberry kick and let me tell you: this cobbler is delicious! And it is super easy!

Fruit Filling Ingredients:
2 quarts strawberries, hulled and rinsed, large berries halved
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/3 to 1/2 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Cobbler Ingredients:
1 c flour
1/4 c plus 2 tsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c buttermilk
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp cinnamon

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Place fruit filling in a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Place pie plate on a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet and bake until the fruit begins to release liquid, 20 to 30 min.
2.While fruit is baking, whisk flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla together. In a third bowl, toss the cinnamon with remaining 2 tsp sugar.
3. Once the fruit filling has begun to release liquid, gently stir the butter milk mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until the dough is just combined and no dry pockets remain.
4. Remove cobbler filling from oven and stir. Pinch the biscuit dough into 8 equal pieces and place on top of hot filling, spaced 1/2 inch apart. Sprinkle the dough with the cinnamon sugar.
5. Return cobbler to oven and bake until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through, 15 to 20 min. Let cobbler cool on a wire rack for 15 min before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Cobbler is so easy to make and so yummy to eat. This particular recipe is from America's Test Kitchen: Family Cookbook, revised edition. It also includes variations for about 8 other fruit fillings which look super delicious as well!
