Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a large (10-inch) cast-iron skillet.

• Stir together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Press the cubed butter into the flour with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Gradually mix in the half-and-half with a rubber spatula until a wet shaggy dough forms.
• Pour the macerated strawberries into the prepared skillet, then drop large spoonfuls of the biscuit dough on top, leaving some space between each. Sprinkle the coarse sugar on top of the dough and place the skillet onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

• For the filling: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Whisk together the jam, cornstarch, sugar, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl until well combined. Add the strawberries and toss gently to coat evenly. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart baking or gratin dish, using a spatula or the back of a large spoon to gently pack the fruit into an even layer. Set aside.
• For the topping: Pulse together the flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3/4 cup of the cream and the vanilla and pulse until the dough just starts to come together. Do not over mix.
• Spread the dough evenly over the strawberries, drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons cream and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Place the cobbler on a baking sheet and bake until the topping is lightly browned and the fruit is bubbling, about 1 hour. Let the cobbler cool completely before serving, 2 to 3 hours. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Mix a little of the strawberry juices into the cornflour, then add the cornflour mixture to the strawberries, combining well.
• For the cobbler topping, toss the flour with the sugar and a pinch of salt. Rub the butter into the flour mixture using your fingertips, then swiftly stir in 80ml buttermilk. If it looks dry, stir in the remaining 20ml. Spoon the cobbler mix over the strawberry base (about eight large spoonfuls), sprinkle over the demerara sugar and bake for 25-30 mins, or until the topping is lightly golden brown. Leave to rest for 10 mins, then serve with clotted cream or ice cream.Twist itSummer berries: Use a mixture of summer berries and up the sugar to 60g.
