Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the strawberries into a bowl & gently mix ½ cup sugar & 1 tbsp cornstarch. Put strawberries in a 9 inch baking dish.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and ½ cup sugar. Using a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut in ¼ cup butter until mixture is crumbly.

Gradually add cream and vanilla, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Divide dough into 5 equal portions, and drop on top of cobbler (Dough will be wet.)

Bake the cobbler for 25 - 35 minutes, until the top is golden and cooked through. Feel free to gently lift up the cobbler dough to make sure it is cooked through.

Serve immediately
