Sweet Strawberry Crumble

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or 190 degrees Celsius, for optimal baking results.

In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, water, and cornstarch. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture reaches a thick, syrupy consistency, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and gently fold in sliced strawberries.

In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside for later use.

Using an electric mixer, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by the addition of vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Drop rounded spoonfuls of the batter onto the strawberry mixture, striving to cover as much surface area as possible.

Bake in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the top; if it comes out clean, the cobbler is ready. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
