Delicious on its own or top with whipped cream or frozen vanilla yogurt.

Recipe Ingredients:

3/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
10 fresh plums, sliced and seeded (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup white sugar, plums, cornstarch and cinnamon.
3. Place the fruit mixture in a 2-quart casserole.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter in with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk and egg until just moistened. Drop batter on fruit, or if desired, spread batter in stripes.
