Easy plum cobbler

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

Ingredients

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

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
2. 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.
3. Pour the melted butter into a 27cm x 21cm baking dish.
4. 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.
5. Spoon the plums and most of the juice on top. Do not mix.
6. 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.
