There is the possibility, which I will neither confirm nor deny, that I have eaten this for dinner three nights in a row. It’s just really good! And, I mean, it’s basically fruit and a biscuit like I might have had with dinner anyway, so… Yeah basically healthy. Basically.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 cups sliced, fresh, unpeeled plums
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons shortening
• 1/2 cup milk
• whipped cream, for serving

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Stir in the plums and lemon juice, then put over medium-high heat.

Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils, then cook, continuing to stir, for 1 minute before removing from heat.

Pour into an ungreased 2 quart casserole, then place in the oven.

Combine the flour, remaining tablespoon of sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl and stir together. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Stir in the milk until just evenly combined.

Take the plum mixture out of the oven and drop the dough on it in six large spoonfuls.

Bake 25-30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.

Serve, still warm, with whipped cream.
