SCRUMPTIOUS STRAWBERRY COBBLER

 

SCRUMPTIOUS STRAWBERRY COBBLER- A beautiful taste of summer!

It’s strawberry time in my neck of the woods! And since homegrown strawberries come and go in a short time we make great use of them while they are around. Today’s scrumptious Strawberry Cobbler is a must make. It’s so yummy and a real summer comfort food!

 

There is much confusion between a crisp, crumble, buckle, slub, cobbler, and grunts. Well, let’s just say that a crisp and a crumble are similar. Their top is crisp and crumbly. Easy- peasy! A slub and a grunt are the same beast. They are cooked on top of the stove and make a grunting sound as the fruit cooks. A buckle is more like a coffee cake with a streusel topping. And a cobble is baked fruit with a biscuit style topping. 

Oh, YUM! Let’s make a scrumptious strawberry Cobbler!

This recipe is at its best when made with fresh homegrown strawberries. But store-bought strawberries will work just as well!

One big tip: Make sure the strawberries are washed and then totally dry before making this recipe. If they are wet the moisture will make the cobbler runny!

And use instant tapioca instead of cornstarch. You will end up with a more pleasant tasting cobbler and one with a better mouthfeel.
