Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (sliced, pitted) Fresh plums
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar (for topping)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups (cold, diced) Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- as desired for serving Optional: Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced plums, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to coat the plums evenly, then pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, diced butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop small spoonfuls of dough and drop them over the plums, covering most of the fruit but leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the plum filling is bubbling.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
