This Strawberry Cobbler will become a favorite dessert recipe. It is quick and easy to make and one your family and guests will love. It reminds me of the old-time cobblers our grandmothers used to make.
- 4 cups fresh strawberries washed and hulled
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 or 2 drops of red food coloring Optional

- 2 teaspoons baking powder

Wash and hull your strawberries and set aside. Combine the lemon juice, water, 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch in a pot and cook on medium heat until thickens like a sauce. (This only takes a couple minutes once it is hot). Remove from stove, stir in food coloring and pour over strawberries. Stir to coat the berries.

Spray a 2 quart casserole dish with cooking spray and pour in berries and sauce. Combine flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix well with wire whisk. Pour in melted butter and milk. Mix with a spoon and drop by tablespoons on top of berries in casserole dish.
