Ingredients
  

  • 750g/4 cups Italian plums
  • 200g/1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp creme de cassis optional

For the cobbler topping

  • 120g/1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 50g/1/4 cup granulated sugar I used Demerara sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 120g/1/2 cup cold butter
  • 50g/1/2 cup oats not instant
  • 30g/1/4 cup walnuts chopped, optional
  • 150ml/2/3 cup milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Cut the plums in half and remove stones. In a large bowl combine the pitted plums, brown sugar, flour and the blackcurrant liqueur if using. Set aside.
  • In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Then add the cold, cubed butter and with a pastry blender cut the butter into the flour mixture until crumbly. Then add the oats and chopped walnuts and stir briefly. Add the milk and stir until just moistened.
  • Add the plum and sugar mixture to the bottom of a deep 9 inch pie plate or a 2 Quart/2 Litre baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping mixture on top of the sugared plums leaving space in between. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden.
