Wash and hull your strawberries and set aside. Combine the lemon juice, water, 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch in a pot and cook on medium heat until thickens like a sauce. (This only takes a couple minutes once it is hot). Remove from stove, stir in food coloring and pour over strawberries. Stir to coat the berries.

Step 2

Spray a 2 quart casserole dish with cooking spray and pour in berries and sauce. Combine flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix well with wire whisk. Pour in melted butter and milk. Mix with a spoon and drop by tablespoons on top of berries in casserole dish.

Step 3

Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes until topping is cooked. Can brown top under broiler for a minute or two if you want it brown on top. Top with whipped cream or ice cream before serving.
