Strawberry Sourdough Cobbler (Easy Discard Recipe)
This Strawberry Sourdough Cobbler is one of those desserts that feels effortlessly generous — jammy, bubbling fruit underneath and a golden, tender topping on top. If you’re looking for a simple sourdough discard dessert to make the most of fresh or frozen fruit, this is a lovely one to keep in your back pocket. It’s easy, deeply comforting and exactly the sort of pudding that disappears quickly with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 1 kg strawberries fresh or thawed from frozen
- 2 tablespoon cornflour cornstarch
- 80 g granulated sugar
For Sourdough Cobbler Topping:
- 1 egg large
- 50 ml milk
- 100 g sourdough discard 100% hydration
- 230 g plain flour all-purpose flour
- 140 g unsalted butter fridge-cold, cut into cubes
- 140 g granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoon demerara sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Place strawberries (thawed if frozen, hulled if fresh and halved if very large) in a large bowl. Toss them with cornflour and sugar.
- Tip the strawberry mixture into a large pie dish or another ovenproof dish that holds at least 2 l (8½ cups).
- In a jug, or a medium bowl, whisk sourdough discard, milk and egg.
- In a separate large bowl, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the sugar, cinnamon (optional), baking powder and a pinch of salt.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix just enough to combine into a thick batter.
- Spoon large blobs into the strawberry mixture, leaving gaps in between. Sprinkle everything with demerara sugar and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling up around the edges.
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
