🛒 Ingredients
- 🍓 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 🍋 1 tsp lemon juice
- 🍬 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 🧈 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 🌾 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 🥛 1 cup milk
- 🧂 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 🧀 115g (4 oz) cream cheese, cubed and chilled
- 🧂 Pinch of salt
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 175°C (350°F). Place your cast-iron skillet in the oven with the butter to melt while you prepare the batter.
2️⃣ Prep the Strawberries
In a bowl, combine strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar and lemon juice. Let them macerate for 5–10 minutes.
3️⃣ Mix the Batter
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and stir just until smooth.
4️⃣ Assemble in the Skillet
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Pour the batter over the melted butter — don’t stir. Spoon the strawberries evenly over the top. Dot with cubes of cream cheese.
5️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out mostly clean. The center will be gooey and creamy — that’s the charm!
6️⃣ Cool Slightly & Serve
Let it cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Delicious warm or at room temperature!
