Mrs. Beeton’s Plum Crumble
Mrs. Beeton, the Original Domestic Goddess, created this great recipe for plum crumble.
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ripe plums pitted and quartered
- 1 cup caster sugar or sugar substitute
- 1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup caster sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a shallow baking dish.
- Place the quartered plums into the baking dish and add the sugar to coat. I happen to love sour desserts, but adjust for the sweetness level you prefer.
- To make the topping, place the dry ingredients into a bowl, and grate in the butter into the mixture and rub into the mixture until evenly distributed.
- Spread the crumble evenly over the plums, then lightly smooth.
- Bake for 45 minutes until bubbly and the top is golden.
- Serve with frozen yoghurt or custard.
