Ingredients
Plum, berry and coconut cobbler
- 1 1/2 cup (225g) frozen mixed berries
- 1 kilogram tub plums, drained, pitted, reserving 2 tablespoons of juice
- 2 tablespoon plain flour
- 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
- 1 1/3 cup (200g) self-raising flour
- 2 tablespoon desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup (125ml) coconut milk
- 40 gram unsalted butter, melted, cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- icing sugar, to dust
Method
Plum, berry and coconut cobbler
- 1Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Grease a 6-cup round baking dish with a lip (to help prevent overflow, as liquid will bubble during baking). Place on a baking tray.
- 2Combine berries, plums, reserved juice, plain flour and 2 tablespoons of caster sugar in a large bowl. Spoon into prepared dish.
- 3Combine self-raising flour, desiccated coconut and remaining caster sugar in a large bowl. Stir in coconut milk, butter and vanilla, until a dough forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Roll out until 1cm thick.
- 4Using a 4cm round pastry cutter, cut discs from dough. Arrange discs over outside edge of plum mixture, leaving centre uncovered.
- 5Bake for 20-25 minutes, until scone topping sounds hollow when lightly tapped and plum mixture is bubbling. Stand for 5 minutes. Dust with icing sugar and serve.
Notes
Tubs of plums are available in the canned fruit aisle in supermarkets.
