Plum Cobbler Recipe

Plum cobbler is a delightful dessert that brings together the sweet and tangy flavours of ripe plums with a buttery, crumbly topping. It’s like a warm hug in a bowl, the kind of comfort food that makes you feel at home.

The plums are cooked down into a luscious, juicy filling, which is then topped with a golden brown cobbler topping. As it bakes, the topping becomes wonderfully crisp, providing an excellent contrast to the soft, gooey filling beneath. Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or hot custard, this plum cobbler is the epitome of dessert perfection.

How to make an easy plum cobbler

FIRST STEP: Preheat the oven to 180โ„ƒ/160โ„ƒfan/350โ„‰

STEP 2: Combine the plum mixture together in large bowl then place in a oven proof dish.

STEP 3: For the sponge combine the sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Add the butter with your hands or mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the eggs and slowly add the milk but don’t over mix.

STEP 4: Drop the batter onto the fruit mixture. Bake for 35 minutes, until golden and the filling is bubbly.

Top Tips

Choose ripe plums: The flavor of your cobbler largely depends on the quality of your plums. Choose ripe but firm plums for the best taste.

Adjust sweetness: Depending on how sweet or tart your plums are, you may need to adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe. Taste your plums before adding the sugar.

Don’t overmix the batter: When preparing the cobbler topping, mix just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can result in a tough rather than crumbly and light texture.

Bake until golden: Make sure to bake the cobbler until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. This ensures that the topping is cooked through and the fruit is tender.

Let it rest: Allow the cobbler to rest for a few minutes after taking it out from the oven. This helps the juices thicken a bit.

Serve warm: For the best flavor, serve the cobbler warm. You can even top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
