Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar casserole dish.
In a large bowl, combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla. Stir well and pour into the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in melted butter, milk, and vanilla until just combined.
