Add the butter cubes to the flour mix. Cut the butter into the flour using your fingers or two forks, until the mix resembles coarse sand. Pour the maple syrup and milk over the top and mix the dough with a spatula until no dry streaks remain.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons milk, any kind, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Refrigerate the dough while you prepare the strawberry filling.
Strawberry Filling
Preheat the oven to 375F degrees and adjust the oven rack to the middle position.
Hull the strawberries and cut into quarters. Add the strawberries to a medium mixing bowl. Add the tapioca flour, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and coat the strawberries. Note - Cut the strawberries in any size or shape you prefer. Just don't cut too small or they will bake down into jam!
12 ounces fresh strawberries, cut into quarters, 2 teaspoons tapioca flour, 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Portion the strawberry filling equally into the 2 baking dishes - including the fruit juices. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion equal amounts of dough on top the strawberry filling. Optional - Sprinkle large/coarse sugar - like Turbinado - over the top of the cobbler topping.
Place the baking dishes on the baking sheet (like a quarter-size baking sheet) and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the strawberry filling is bubbling and the cobbler topping is golden brown. Note - If the cobbler topping is baking faster than the filling, loosely cover the top of the cobblers with a piece of aluminum foil.
Cool the cobblers in the baking dishes set on a wire cooling rack for a few minutes. The cobblers are delicious served warm, but also tasty at room temperature. Top with your favorite ice cream of whipped coconut creamto serve, and Enjoy!
Strawberries - I recommend fresh strawberries - especially in season - because they will retain some texture when baked. Frozen strawberries will work, but may bake a little too mushy.
Sweetener - I like to use maple syrup for the warm, caramel-buttery flavor. Feel free to swap in any sweetener of choice.
