Follow these simple steps to create the perfect Strawberry Cobbler:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Strawberries: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, ½ cup of sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss until the strawberries are well-coated. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out the juices.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining ½ cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk and melted butter until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are fine.
6. Pour Batter: Grease a baking dish (9×13 inches works well). Pour the batter evenly into the dish.
7. Add Strawberries: Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly over the batter. Do not stir; the strawberries will sink during baking.
8. Bake: Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the juices thicken slightly.
10. Serve: Enjoy the strawberry cobbler warm, and consider topping it with ice cream or whipped cream for an even more delightful treat.
