Strawberry Filling
- 2 lbs frozen strawberries
- 2 Tbsp ghee or butter
- ½ cup maple sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp water
Biscuit Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp maple sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 cup plain unsweetened kefir or buttermilk
- ½ cup ghee melted
Instructions
- In a large cast iron skillet (at least 10-inches or larger), add in strawberries over medium heat. Gently toss strawberries together until they begin to release their juices, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add in ghee all around the skillet and continue cooking/stirring until ghee has melted, about 2-3 minutes. Then sprinkle in sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cardamon, and salt. Stir mixture together to fully incorporate and continue cooking until sugar has melted, another 2-3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, add in cornstarch and water, and stir mixture together creating a slurry (thick sauce)Pour slurry mixture into skillet with strawberry filling and gently stir together. Then remove the skillet from heat and set aside while you prepare biscuit topping.
Biscuit Topping
- In a medium-sized bowl: Whisk together both flours, baking soda, salt and sugar. Pour in buttermilk and melted ghee. Stir together until fully combined. Mixture will be somewhat thick. Take a large spoon and gently dollop spoonfuls of biscuit batter all over top of strawberry filling.
- Place the skillet on top of a large baking sheet as cobbler may bubble over; then place into oven and bake for 30 minutes or until biscuit tops are golden brown in color and cobbler is bubbly.
- Once done, allow the cobbler to cool for at least10 minutes.
- Serve strawberry cobbler warm with vanilla ice cream and fresh mint leaves as garnish, if desired.
