One dish plum cobbler

You only need to dirty one dish (the baking dish) to make this cobbler and it is ready to put in the oven within minutes which is why I love it so much.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup  all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup  sugar, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea or table salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 5 medium plums, halved and stone removed
  • 3/4 teaspoon icing sugar to dust

Method:

Heat your oven to 180 C. Place butter in a 7×11-inch cake pan or similar sized dish. Place pan in oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until butter has melted. Tilt the dish to ensure it is evenly coated with butter.

Whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and stir in milk. Mix until smooth. Pour batter over the butter but do not stir, even if it looks like a puddle-y buttery mess.

Space halved fruit over batter. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Bake the cobbler until it is set and golden on top, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack. Serve the cobbler warm or at room temperature.
