First of all I want to wish my beautiful sister Joujou the Happiest Birthday.. I love you my second half and miss you every single day!
I must admit I'm in a sugary mood these past few days, so today's post is a sweet one yet again.. Doughy baked bits over sweet, fruity chunks in syrup, can there be anything more delicious? You can either have it for breakfast and serve it on it's own, or for dessert with a yummy scoop of vanilla ice cream or Crème Anglaise.. And if you don't like plums use any kind of berry, apples or even peach.. Very yummy indeed!

Serves 6 persons
- 4 plums, de-seeded and cut into chunks
- 1/3 sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 TBL corn flour
- 2 TBL slightly salted butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 TBL milk
- 1 TBL redcurrant jelly (or any jelly you like)
- 1 egg
Preheat oven to 180C
In a bowl, combine the plums, jelly, corn flour, cinnamon, half the sugar and set aside.. In a second bowl, knead the butter, flour and remaining sugar until they resemble breadcrumbs.. In yet another small bowl, lightly whisk the egg and the milk, then add it to the crumble mixture..
In a baking dish, spread the plums and spoon the dough evenly on top.. Place the cobbler in the oven until it's golden brown, baking for about 25 minutes.. Voila, delicious homemade plum cobbler :)
