Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries (quartered )
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup instant tapioca
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8 X 8-inch baking pan with nonstick baking spray.
  • Rinse the strawberries, let whole berries dry, then slice in half or quarters.
  • In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together cut strawberries, sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, and tapioca. Pour fruit mixture into prepared baking dish.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together all the topping ingredients, except the butter and boiling water. Add the butter and cut in with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Pour the boiling water into the bowl and stir just until the mixture comes together.
  • Drop the topping dough by the large spoonful evenly over the fruit mixture. Evenly sprinkle the top of the dough with 1  1/2 Tablespoons of sugar.
  • Place the baking pan on a cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the topping is cooked through and golden and strawberries are tender.
