Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, combine strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to release juices.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into a greased 10-inch cast iron skillet.
- Spoon the sugared strawberries over the batter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly. Serve warm with whipped cream.
Notes
- You can use other berries or fruits in place of strawberries.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can use an oven-safe pan of similar size.
