This simple dessert pairs syrupy strawberries with a fluffy biscuit topping to make a colorful and tasty dish. The easy prep makes this homemade strawberry cobbler a fun go-to recipe when you need a sweet treat for a warm summer evening or something special with your afternoon coffee.

Here’s what you’ll need to make it
There are two parts to this easy Strawberry Cobbler recipe: the strawberries and the biscuit crust. For the strawberry filling, you’ll need Strawberries, Vanilla Extract, Salt, Brown Sugar, and Cornstarch. For the crust, you’ll use All-purpose Flour, Baking Powder, Salt, Granulated Sugar, Unsalted Butter, and Buttermilk. You will also need some Coarse Sugar for sprinkling on top.
Substitutes and add-ins
- Substitute different fruit- This cobbler is delicious with most fruit, so if you don’t have any strawberries, you can sub blueberries, blackberries, or even make it a peach cobbler.
- Make it allergy-friendly- If you have allergies in the family, you can substitute gluten-free flour for AP flour, or use a plant-based butter in place of regular butter. Just ensure that your ratios are correct when substituting to get the right consistency.
- Add lime- Adding lime juice and zest will give your homemade cobbler a slightly tart-sweet flavor that is so refreshing!
How to make strawberry cobbler
- Prepare the strawberries. Rinse and slice the strawberries and put them in a large bowl.
- Add in the filling ingredients. Add the brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix well. Then put the filling in a 9-inch pie dish.
- Bake the filling. Place the pie dish in the oven and bake it for 20 minutes at 370 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Start making the biscuit crust. In another bowl, add the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or by hand, cut through the butter.
- Add the buttermilk. Pour the buttermilk into the bowl and use a wooden spoon to mix everything together.
- Scoop out the biscuits. Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to scoop out the biscuits and place them on top of the baked strawberries.
- Bake. Brush the top of the strawberry cobbler with melted butter and sprinkle some coarse sugar on top. Bake it at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35-40 minutes. Serve warm.
