The Deep-Dish Strawberry Dessert You Need to Bake | ATK Classes
If you love fruit cobblers, crisps, and pies, you need to meet the Sonker. Native to Surry County, North Carolina, this hyper-regional, deep-dish heirloom dessert is a gem of Southern baking. Today, Christie Morrison is showing you how to make a “lazy” version of the recipe filled with jammy strawberries and topped with a pancake batter that’s baked into a distinct, light layer of cake.

Cook the filling on stove top to speed this up. I don’t want my oven for an hour to soften strawberries.
Oh my. Im gonna try this with my part of my first strawberry harvest for sure.
luv dat stonker
Looks delicious
How deep is that dish?
@American’sTestKitchen, @ATK – can Other fruit be utilized in this recipe? If so, are there any things that we need to be aware of when using other fruits, such as blueberries, peaches, etc.?
Thank you ! I'm cooking this tomorrow !
Sonker? I hardly know her
I'm not a real big fan of cook strawberries so much prefer peaches, blueberries and apples, I just might try it but not with strawberries.
I’m here for this !! Summer’s abundance but make it easy
this is such an american thing and shes such an american person
Great video TY more of these plz.
Try using apple juice instead of water when mixing up the cornstarch.
This looks delicious and easy but I don't know what makes this a "class".
Will blueberry/blackberries work
FYI, you can make pancakes with chopped strawberries inside too.
Love you Kristy! Looks delicious

OMG, those strawberries look terrible. They are sooo under ripe.

My grandkids love strawberries. I'm gonna have to make this.

Would almond milk work?
Looks great
Would almond flour work? No grains for me…
Why hightlight an overweight, unhealthy cook? Ridiculous.
