Serves: 2
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25-30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 ripe plums, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for the topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup milk
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced plums with 2 tablespoons of sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss to coat the plums evenly and set them aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the cold, diced butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and stir until the mixture comes together as a dough.
- Divide the sugared plums between two oven-safe ramekins or small baking dishes.
- Spoon the biscuit dough on top of the plums, dividing it evenly between the two dishes.
- Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the plums are bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve your Plum Cobbler warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
