Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C/350F.

Step 2

Place all ingredients except butter in a bowl. Mix to combine. Add butter and mix to incorporate.

Step 3

Hull / cut top off strawberries. Cut larger ones in half, leave small ones whole (2cm / 4/5" height).

Step 4

Place strawberries in bowl. Scatter over cornflour, toss well to coat evenly.

Step 5

Add sugar, water and vanilla. Mix well.

Step 6

Pour strawberries into a baking pan (Note 2). Crumble over topping, using your fingers to get some nice crumbly chunks.

Step 7

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the Topping is deep golden and the strawberry syrup is bubbling up energetically all around the edges - see video, this is a key sign that the strawberry sauce has thickened sufficiently.

Step 8

Stand for a few minutes before serving with ice cream or your choice of topping.
