- A pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (for topping)

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Prepare the Strawberries: In a bowl, combine the halved strawberries with 1/2 cup of sugar. Set aside for about 10 minutes to macerate.

Assemble the Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Evenly distribute the macerated strawberries over the batter. Do not stir.
-
Add the Topping: Dot the top with small pieces of butter evenly spaced.
-
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the dessert to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
