Simple, Foolproof Strawberry Cobbler

I call this strawberry cobbler foolproof because I am not a good baker but this comes out perfectly every time.  Probably due to the fact this super easy, cakey cobbler is inspired by the Pioneer Woman, but also because it’s simple and un-complicated. It’s easy to remember because it’s just 1-1-1-1-1:

1 stick of butter

1 cup milk

1 cup self-rising flour

1 cup sugar

1 pint berries

Seriously, it’s that easy.  The blackberry version with vanilla ice cream has been an absolute dessert staple in our house because it’s mind-blowingly delicious and because it always turns out amazing.  This is less crumbley than traditional cobbler, and more cakey. The edges crisp up and become chewy and wonderful like the edges of brownies and it’s to die for.

With summer’s berry bounty, switch it up by trying strawberry cobbler! Equally delicious, and strawberries lend themselves to more ice cream options, (try coffee, mint chocolate chip, or cookie dough!) Honestly, any fruit would be fantastic in this simple cobbler base.
