Equipment

  • 10-inch cast iron skillet or 9-10 inch cake pan.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups dice plums. I split mine in half and then cut in quarters.
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour If you prefer, you can always use an all purpose or gluten free.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • cup granulated sugar Reserve 1 or 2 tablespoons to sprinkle on top of batter.
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare 10 inch cast iron skillet. It's my favorite to bake cobblers in. If you don't have one, you can always just use a 10 inch cake pan.
  • Places plums in your pan and sprinkle with ¼ cup of granulated sugar. Mix gently.
  • In separate bowl, mix dry ingredients. Remember to recerve 2 tablespoons of your sugar to sprinkle on top.
  • To this bowl, add your wet ingredients and mix until it is farily smooth. No need to over mix at this point.
  • Pour over the top of the fruit. Sprinkle with about a tablespoon or 2 of sugar. This step isn't necessary if you are trying to cut sugar, but I love the crunch it produces.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes. The top should be golden brown and the plums tender.
  • Allow it to cool or eat it right out of the oven. Either way, it is incredibly delicious!
  • Now, sit back and enjoy. You deserve it!
