Ingredients

  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup water (or ½ cup for a thicker filling)
  • 3 cups fresh ripe strawberries, hulled
  • 2 tablespoons butter, diced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes hot.
  3. Add the strawberries to the mixture, stir gently, then remove from heat.
  4. Pour the strawberry filling into the prepared baking dish and evenly dot the top with 2 tablespoons of diced butter.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream until a soft dough forms.
  8. Spoon the dough evenly over the strawberry filling.
  9. Bake for about 25–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Chefs Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute part of the water with strawberry juice or a splash of lemon juice for brightness.
  • If your strawberries are very sweet, you can slightly reduce the sugar in the filling.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor contrast between the soft filling and crisp topping.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator and reheated gently before serving.
