Skillet Strawberry Cobbler

Skillet Strawberry Cobbler

We had a nice first harvest from our strawberry plants so we enjoyed some of them mashed up with some vanilla ice cream. I’ve been wanting to bake a cobbler for a while now, so I adapted an America’s Test Kitchen cobbler recipe to work with our fresh strawberries. I recently discovered that I really enjoy baked strawberries (like pie or crisps) with a bit of cinnamon so I knew I would love this recipe because you sprinkle a bit of cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of the biscuits before baking. They make the tops crisp and extra delicious. I served this delicious skillet strawberry cobbler with some ice cold vanilla ice cream and my entire family absolutely LOVED it.

How to Make a Skillet Strawberry Cobbler

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Prepare the strawberries by washing & removing the hulls then cut any large strawberry in half. Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Add the prepared strawberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice then gently toss together to coat evenly. Pour the mixture into a large cast iron skillet.

Place into the oven and bake for 25 minutes.

Prepare the biscuit topping by whisking together the flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk together with the cooled melted butter and vanilla until well combined. Set aside. In s small separate dish, combine the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar with the 1/8th teaspoon of cinnamon; mix very well. Set aside. One minute before the berries come out of the oven, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients; stir with a rubber spatula until just combined and no dry pockets remain.

To assemble and bake, remove the berries from the oven; increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees.

Divide the biscuit dough into eight equal pieces and place them on top of the hot berry filling, spacing them 1/2 inch apart (they should not be touching). Sprinkle the top of each biscuit with the sugar/cinnamon mixture.

    Delicious …I just bought some fresh rhubarb , and I had strawberries that needed to be used so I used both in the recipe … Really good, I love the tang of rhubarb !
    Even with a broken oven it turned out . I’m was having a problem with my oven, I couldn’t get it to turn on bake , So , I tried turning on the convection and surprisingly it worked .. so while it was baking I was searching out a appliance repair service .. they’ll be here Tuesday.. Hahaha!
