I used Purple Majesty plums that have dark purple skin and a yellow, tangy flesh.

3 cups	Plums, stoned and chopped (about 8 large plums) (Main)
1 ½ cups	Sugar
1 Tbsp	Lemon juice
½ tsp	Ground cinnamon
100 g	Butter, melted
1 cup	Plain flour
2 tsp	Baking powder
1 pinch	Salt
1 cup	Milk

Preheat the oven to 190°C.
Place the plums, half the sugar and the lemon juice in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the cinnamon.
Pour the melted butter into a 27cm x 21cm baking dish.
Combine the remaining sugar, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Whisk in the milk until just combined. Pour onto the butter. Do not mix.
Spoon the plums and most of the juice on top. Do not mix.
Place in a roasting pan to catch the drips and bake for 45-50 minutes until golden and cooked through. Great served warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream.
