Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 medium mixing bowl
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 9x13 inch baking dish
- 1 baking sheet optional for catching spills
- 1 whisk or fork
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced About 2 pounds.
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, ½ cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix gently and let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
- While the strawberries are resting, prepare the biscuit topping. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ½ cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the strawberry filling, leaving some gaps for the filling to bubble through.
- Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips, if necessary. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, possibly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
