This easy cobbler recipe is from BBC Good Food magazine. The syrup tends to boil over while baking so put a cookie sheet underneath to catch the drips! Ingredients:
3 lbs plums, halved and stones removed |
4 ounces golden caster sugar |
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour |
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half |
2 oranges |
2 ounces almonds, ground |
10 ounces self-raising flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
3 ounces butter, chilled and cut into cubes |
4 tablespoons golden caster sugar |
150 g plain yogurt |
4 tablespoons milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/3 cup almonds, sliced |
Directions:
1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Mix together the plums, 4 oz. sugar, all-purpose flour and cinnamon in a large baking dish.
3. Splash over the juice squeezed from the two oranges, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes, until the fruit has softened.
4. Meanwhile, mix the ground almonds, orange zest, self-raising flour, salt and baking powder in a food processor, then add the butter and pulse until thoroughly mixed.
5. Pulse in the sugar.
6. Warm the yogurt, milk and vanilla together in the microwave for 1 minute or in a pan. It should be hot and may look a bit lumpy.
7. Add the flour mixture in the food processor and pulse until thoroughly combined. The mixture should be a bit stiff but spoonable.
8. Take the plums from the oven, uncover, then top with 6 big spoonfuls of batter.
9. Top with the sliced almonds and a bit of coarse sugar.
10. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the topping is golden and the fruit bubbles underneath.
11. Sprinkle with more sugar to serve.
