Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon of sugar and the strawberries until the strawberries are evenly coated.
Dump the strawberries into a baking dish and spread evenly over the bottom of the dish.
Add the warm water.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, coconut oil, sugar, baking powder, egg, milk, and pinch of salt. Mix well.
Drop the batter over the strawberries in large clumps and even out as much as possible.
