Here’s an easy PERFECT dessert for your 4th of July BBQ. It's SO easy, you don't even need a mixer.
I was looking for easy strawberry desserts, and I found this one from Preppy Kitchen.
It's super easy (even for the novice baker) and it's so delicious, your guests will be fighting over the last bite. And it's an absolute MUST that you serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Pretty sure it's a law. Top it with a few fresh blueberries and it screams 4th of July! That's just all there is to it.
Boom.
2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
9 tbs unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, stir together the strawberries and 1/3 cup of the sugar. Set aside to macerate. Add the butter to a 13x9-inch baking dish and place in the preheated oven until the butter is melted, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 2/3 cup of sugar. Add the milk and vanilla extract, and stir just until combined. Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the batter over the melted butter. Spoon the strawberries over the batter, leaving any extra liquid in the bottom of the bowl.

Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the batter is golden brown and the strawberry juices are bubbling. Let cool for 15 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
When you macerate the strawberries, they'll give off lots of juice, which will make the cobbler too wet if you just dump the whole bowl in. The original recipe said to discard that liquid. Don't you dare!! Thats liquid deliciousness!! Use it as a fabulous syrup to pour over your finished cobbler, vanilla ice cream, waffles, or pancakes.
Don't like strawberries? Use any other berries or stone fruit. Raspberries? Blackberries? Peaches? How 'bout a combination of fruits? Want to add some cinnamon? Go for it. It will all work.
I used salted butter because it's what I had on hand. That little bit of extra salt was actually my favorite thing. Use what you have!
If your fruit is not as sweet as you'd like, just add more sugar. Frankly, I didn't even measure 1/3 cup. I just poured it over the berries and gave them a toss. Yum.
