Ingredients

  • 6 large ripe plums sliced into approximately 1/2-inch slices
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cups brown or turbinado sugar (amount depends on how sweet you like it and how sweet the plums are)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon allspice
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the crust:
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar + a little more to sprinkle on top of each cobbler
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter in tbs size pieces
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup cold milk

Method

  • Combine sliced plums with sugar and spices, stir, and set aside. Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • Place dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, add the butter, and work it into the dry ingredients with your hands or a pastry cutter until it resembles pea-sized crumbs. Add the sour cream and milk, and stir just to combine.
  • Spoon your plums into ramekins, then spread enough of the dough on top to cover the fruit. Sprinkle with a little brown sugar (optional). Place ramekins on a sheet pan and bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
