Servings 6 -8 servings
Ingredients
For the Plums:
- 1/2 - 1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (for greasing)
- 12 Plums (cut into wedges)
- 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 Tbsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Almond Extract
For the Biscuit Topping:
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup + 1/2 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 (4 oz.) Stick Cold Unsalted Butter (cut into small cubes)
- 1/2 cup Boiling Water
Instructions
For the Plums:
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Use the butter to grease the bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Add all of the ingredients for the plums into a large bowl. Toss the ingredients together until well combined. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, arranging the plums in an even layer.
For the Biscuit Topping:
- Add the flour, a 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, half of the cinnamon, and salt to a large bowl. Mix the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed. Work the butter into the dry ingredients until you get small pea-sized crumbles.
- Pour in a little bit of the boiling water at a time. Mix it into the dry ingredients with a fork until you get a biscuit-like dough. You may not need to use all of the water. Once the dough forms, place golfball sized spoonfuls of dough on top of the plums.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon. Mix until the two blend together. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of the biscuit dough.
- Bake the cobbler in the oven for 40-45 minutes until the biscuits are fully cooked and lightly golden brown. Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to sit for a few minutes before serving.
