plum cobbler

We've had crazy amounts of fresh plums from our orchard lately!
We looooove fresh plums but there were too many to eat and not (quite) enough to can into jelly.
So, plum cobbler it was!
We had about four of these cobblers and enjoyed every last bite!

Plum Cobbler
Makes an 8x8 pan.
Adapted from somewhere online.
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar
4 cups pitted and sliced fresh plums
2 tablespoons instant tapioca or cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten

Preheat your oven to 350*.
In a large bowl, mix 3/4 cup sugar, plums, tapioca, cinnamon and nutmeg. Place fruit mixture in an 8x8 baking dish and set aside.
In the same bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk and the egg until moistened.
Drop the batter in large spoonfuls onto the fruit mixture. Bake for 35-45 minutes until cobbler topping is nicely browned and the filling is bubbling.
Serve with ice cream and enjoy!
