Easy Plum Cobbler

Easy Plum Cobbler

Ingredients

  • 4 cups pitted sliced plums (about 6 to 8 medium plums)

  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup (50g) firmly packed light brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes

  • 1/4 cup milk (I used oat milk)

  • coarse sugar, optional (sanding sugar, turbinado, or demerara)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Set aside a 1 & 1/2- to 2-quart baking dish.
  • Combine the plums, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Mix directly in the baking dish, or mix in a separate bowl and transfer to the baking dish.
  • Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the butter to the flour mixture, and mix with a pastry blender, a fork, or your fingers until crumbly.
  • Add the milk, and mix just until a dough forms.
  • Using about a tablespoonful at a time, drop the dough over the top of the plum mixture. If you like, sprinkle the top with coarse sugar.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
