Variations & Tips
If your strawberries are very tart, you can add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar over the berries, or stir 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted butter before mixing it with the flour for a more old-fashioned, bakery-style aroma.
For a hint of Midwestern potluck flavor, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg over the sugared berries before adding the topping. If you prefer a slightly more cake-like topping, stir 1 teaspoon baking powder and a pinch of salt into the flour before adding the melted butter; this will give the dough a bit more lift.
You can also swap half the strawberries for another frozen berry, such as blueberries or raspberries, but keep the total amount to about 32 ounces so the cobbler cooks properly. For a less sweet dessert, reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup and serve with sweetened whipped cream.
