Plum Cobbler

Ingredients
  • 8 cups pitted and sliced fresh plums
  • 1 c. light brown sugar
  • ½ c. granulated sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 2 tbsp. amaretto, (optional)
  • 3 tbsp. cornstarch
  • Topping:
  • 1½ c. self-rising flour
  • ⅓ c. granulated sugar
  • 8 tbsp. unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ½ to ¾ c. heavy cream
  • 1 to 2 tbsp. coarse sugar for topping
  • Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375℉.
  2. In a large bowl combine the plums, sugars, salt, amaretto, and cornstarch. Spoon into a 9 to 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  3. In a medium bowl combine the flour and sugar. Add the butter and using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add the cream and mix gently. You are looking for a wet, sticky dough. Add more cream a tablespoon at a time if the mixture is too dry.
  4. Drop the dough on top of the plum mixture. (It is messy, but I do this with my fingers.). Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  5. Bake until golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbling, 30 to 45 minutes.
  6. Serve warm with ice cream, if desired.
