Plums are one of the underrated fruits in the stone fruit group. This plum cobbler is the perfect way to highlight these delicious little beauties. Plum cobbler is sweet and a little bit tart, with a delicious buttery topping. The best part is, it's cobbled together for the perfect bite every time.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter. In a large bowl, mix the plums, sugar, flour, and vanilla and then transfer them to the baking dish.
8 cups quartered plums, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and work it into the flour with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until it is dry and crumbly. Add the milk and mix just until it forms a dough.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon sea salt, 8 tablespoons butter, ½ cup milk
Flatten out small handfuls of the dough and arrange them on top of the plums. If you'd like, brush a little whisked egg white on top of the cobbler and sprinkle it with coarse sugar.

Bake the plum cobbler for 45-55 minutes, until the cobbler topping is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the topping comes out clean. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving it.
Notes
We've used yellow plums to make the cobbler you see in the photos, but any variety of plums will work well with this recipe.
