Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes while you mix the topping.
Combine Dry Topping: In a medium bowl, stir the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt well.
Add Liquids: Using a fork, mix butter and water into the flour mixture. Stir well. The mixture will be thick.
Add Filling: Pour the strawberry filling into the baking dish. Spread evenly.
Layer: With a spoon, drop the flour/sugar mixture over the top of the strawberries. With the back of the spoon, gently spread the topping over the top of the strawberries.
Bake: Bake for one hour or until the topping turns a golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Top with ice cream if desired.

To Store and Reheat:

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
Reheat: Place in a 300 degree oven for 10–15 minutes, or microwave for a bit.
Freezing: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat before serving.

Recipe Tips:

Cover with Sugar: Don't skip this step, and allow it to sit for at least 10 minutes. It draws out the juices and helps create that thick, syrupy filling we all love.
Choose Ripe Berries: The sweeter your strawberries are, the better your cobbler will taste.
Use a Baking Sheet: Place a baking sheet under the baking dish. The cobbler can bubble up and over as it bakes, and nobody wants to scrub baked-on berry juice off the bottom of the oven.
Serve Warm: Allow the dish to cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. This helps the filling thicken up and makes it easier to serve.
