Easy Plum Cobbler

Ingredients

• 1 pound plums
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

2. 2

   Halve and pit the plums, then slice or quarter, depending on size. Place fruit in a single layer in a baking dish. Drizzle lemon juice over fruit, add 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract, and toss to coat; set aside.

3. 3

   Add flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt to a bowl, and mix until well combined. Cut butter into small cubes, and mash into the flour mixture using a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Stir in boiling water to form a dough. Use your fingers or drop small spoonfuls of the dough on top of the plums.

4. 4

   Bake until a toothpick inserted into cobbler dough comes out clean and top is lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
