Notes

Use cold butter- Cold butter is a must for the biscuit dough to come together. It will create flaky layers in the dough, and also be easier to cube.
Don't use canned fruit- While frozen fruit that is thawed can be used instead of fresh strawberries, canned fruit is too syrupy and soft, leading to a gooey, gummy cobbler.
You can freeze this cobbler. Once it's cooled, cover it with foil and place it in an airtight container or freezer bag. You can freeze it for about 3 months. When you're ready to eat it, thaw it in the fridge overnight and warm it in the oven before serving.
