Strawberry Cobbler

Dough
1 3/4 cups unbleached white flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons cold butter
3/4 cup milk

Filling
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unbleached white flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 quarts strawberries, stemmed, cut in half

Topping
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter

To prepare dough, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in bowl. Cut in cold butter until dough has the consistency of coarse sand (or use food processor). Add milk and gently knead just until a ball is formed. Refrigerate.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine sugar, flour and salt for filling. Slowly whisk in water and lemon juice. Stir into strawberries.

Place fruit in 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes or until fruit is bubbling. Stir.

Tear off 1/4 inch thick, half dollar size pieces of dough; place on top of berries, covering the entire surface. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle with brown sugar.

Return to oven, and bake another 30 minutes or until golden brown.
