Very lovely summertime treat... Sweet and sassy, with a very, very yummy filling! Only recommendation: Use way less water! Trust me, you'll be glad you didn't add in all of it.

I used more strawberries and less water as suggested. There was still way too much topping which was really cake-y and not very sweet.

This is why this web site is THE BEST - all of the reviews that help tweak a recipe. Here is what I changed - I did not add water and I did not cook the strawberries. I added sugar and cornstarch to the strawberries and then mixed up the batter. I added vanilla to the batter and I also used light brown sugar instead of dark brown and it still came out great. I skipped the brown sugar topping because I love cakey desserts and thought the topping would take away from it. I baked it for about 30 minutes total, and it was fantastic! It actually reminded me of strawberry shortcake.

This was absolutely delicious!! I only used a 1/4 cup of water and it was perfect. It was so easy to make that I made it when I came home from work. My entire family couldn't wait until it was finished the entire house smells terrific.

Well, the flavor of the topping and strawberry mixture was good, however, like others have said, it comes out super watery as written. I would try this again but would def have to make some major adjustments, like upping the amount of strawberries or doubling the cornstarch.

The only thing I had to change was that I put 3T of cornstarch. I did not read the reviews about using less water until after I made it, so next time I will reduce the water just a little bit. But the 3T of cornstarch did the trick. It came out perfect and tastes fantastic. I also served with vanilla ice cream.

The crust was a little cakey for my taste, but the flavor was good. But I'm still on the lookout for the perfect strawberry cobbler recipe.

Delicious - I used five cups fresh strawberries, omitted the water entirely, decreased the cornstarch to a little over a teaspoon, and only slightly increased the quantity of flour. It fit perfectly in an 8 x 8 inch baking dish. For those who say it's too cakey, they should reduce the baking powder to 1 teaspoon. It makes it more crumbly. With these modifications, the cobbler yielded the perfect consistency. Not soupy at all. Thanks for the recipe!

It had no taste to it. The topping was o.k. but the strawberries didn't have much taste. I reduced the water like others suggested, but you would think that would give it more flavor. It still was tasteless.
