This plum cobbler was inspired by a Betty Crocker recipe I found online, but I modified it a bunch. I used gluten free flour and no refined sugar but maple syrup instead, but you can totally substitute plain flour (same amount as gluten free) and white refined sugar instead.

Ingredients:

For Filling:

4 cups ripe plums (Italian plums that are not too juicy)

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice (about 2 limes or 1 huge lemon)

1/4 cup maple syrup (or more if your plums are on the tarter side)

3 Tablespoons corn starch


For Topping:

1 cup flour or gluten free flour (I love Namaste Gluten Free Organic Perfect Flour Blend)

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 Tablespoons coconut oil or butter

1 Tablespoon maple syrup

1/2 cup milk (or almond milk or coconut milk)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

• Cut plums in quarter pieces, take the seeds out. 

• Put lime juice, maple syrup, corn starch and plums into a saucepan and bring to a boil. 

• Stir constantly until it bubbles and thickens. This only takes a couple of minutes once it boils. Don't let it burn! We don't want no charred cobbler, darlin'!

• Put this onto a pie plate. 

• Put in the preheated oven to keep warm. 

Then mix the topping ingredients:

• Put flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and mix together. 

• Cut the oil or butter into this with a pastry blender or two knives until this resembles wet sand. 

• Then add milk (or almond or coconut milk) and 1 Tablespoon maple syrup and mix til it forms a soft dough. 

• Drop this dough onto the plum mixture by blobs. 

• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Hint: you might want to put a baking sheet underneath this to catch the bubbling-over syrupy stuff so your oven won't start smoking. How do I know this? Hmpf.

Serve this sucker with plenty of whipping cream.

Use Italian prune plums, wash them first

It helps tremendously to have a cute girl helper cutting up the plums

Put a baking sheet underneath the cobbler to catch any drippings, so things won't turn nasty smokey
