Ingredients
Filling:
1/3 cup strawberry jam
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 pounds strawberries, hulled and quartered
Biscuit Topping:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vanilla ice cream for serving
Directions
- For the filling: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Whisk together the jam, cornstarch, sugar, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl until well combined. Add the strawberries and toss gently to coat evenly. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart baking or gratin dish, using a spatula or the back of a large spoon to gently pack the fruit into an even layer. Set aside.
- For the topping: Pulse together the flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3/4 cup of the cream and the vanilla and pulse until the dough just starts to come together. Do not over mix.
- Spread the dough evenly over the strawberries, drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons cream and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
- Place the cobbler on a baking sheet and bake until the topping is lightly browned and the fruit is bubbling, about 1 hour. Let the cobbler cool completely before serving, 2 to 3 hours. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Cook’s Note
When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
