Making Strawberry Cobbler is simple when you follow these clear and concise steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.
2. Prepare Strawberries: In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss them gently and allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining sugar (1/2 cup).
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
6. Layer the Strawberries: Pour the strawberry mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
7. Add the Batter: Spoon the cobbler batter over the strawberries gently, ensuring even coverage.
8. Sprinkle Cinnamon: If you like, sprinkle ground cinnamon on top of the batter for added flavor.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the top turns golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool Slightly: Once baked, allow the cobbler to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving for a better texture.
