Baking tips
- Strawberries: you can use fresh or frozen ones. Always best fresh ones, but both work.
- Ahead of time: you can make the filling and topping separately, and assemble and bake just before serving.
- Resting time: let the cobbler rest at least 15–20 minutes after baking so that the filling can thicken slightly and set.
- Mixed berry cobbler: combine blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries with the strawberries for flavour and colour.
