Put all the ingredients in a bowl aside from the butter. To mingle, blend. Mix in butter after adding it.
STRAWBERRY FILLING:
Cut off the top or hull the strawberry. Leave the smaller ones whole and cut the larger ones in half (2 cm / 4 1/2 height).
In a bowl, add strawberries. Sprinkle cornmeal over the top and well mix to coat.
Add vanilla, sugar, and water. Mix well.
ASSEMBLE AND BAKE:
Baked strawberries should be placed in a pan. Use your fingers to crumble the topping, getting lovely, chunky crumbles as you go.
Bake the topping for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is deeply brown and the strawberry syrup is vigorously bubbling up all around the edges (see video). This is an important indication that the strawberry sauce has thickened enough.
Before serving with ice cream or your preferred topping, let the dish stand for a few minutes.
