Strawberry Cobbler

I love strawberries! They are my favorite fruit. Best dessert ever: smashed, sugared strawberries over vanilla ice cream. So good. I've been trying a few new strawberry recipes this soggy Spring, one of which is my sister's Fresh Strawberry Muffins. Also so good, and rates as a Sister Recipe. I thought this Strawberry Cobbler was included in the so good category, and it got a thumbs up from everyone except Ben, who thought it needed more cobbler and less fruit. Give it a try and see what you think!

Strawberry Cobbler- 8 servings
1/2 c. sugar
1 Tbs. cornstarch
