Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease an 11” x 8.75” baking dish with butter; set aside. 
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the plum, sugars, vanilla, cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir to incorporate, and set the plum mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cubed butter, and work it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your hands until it resembles coarse bread crumbs.
  4. Whisk buttermilk and vanilla together in a glass measuring cup or small bowl; add it to the flour and butter mixture and stir together with a rubber spatula, just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Transfer the plum mixture to the prepared baking dish; dot randomly with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Using a large spoon, dollop spoonfuls of biscuit batter over the plum; sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
  6. Bake until the tops are golden brown and juices are thick and bubbling about 45 to 60 minutes. If the biscuits are browning too much, cover loosely with foil. Remove the pan from the oven. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
