Plum Crumble
Posted by Amanda on 25 Aug 2010 | Tagged as: Baking, Vegetarian, dessert
Orangette is … I called it my “food porn” but that’s crass–I just like it … so it isn’t a surprise that I’ve been stuck on the idea of a plum crumble since we started getting tons of plums in our fruit share and when I finally searched the interwebs for a recipe what I found was … lo … Orangette’s, which probably planted the idea in my head. Her take is pretty close to Luisa’s, which I gather is pretty much Marion Burro’s and nothing like Amanda Hesser’s. If I’d found Amanda’s I probably would have made it since I’ve got a lot of brandy around thanks to a round of figs in brandy that I spent my Friday night putting up. Instead, tweaked Marion’s:
Melt 1 stick butter (I think I could have used much less and still had a delicious, if not quite so decadent, crumble) and turn the oven on to 375°.
Mix together 12 plums pitted and quartered, 1½T whole wheat flour, 2T brown sugar, 1T grated ginger, 1T lemon zest, ½ tsp cinnamon. Dump them into a 9″ baking dish. Do not arrange. Plum side down? Why?
Mix together ¾ cup white sugar (I think less would work well), 1 tsp baking powder, pinch-o-salt, ½ tsp cinnamon, 1c whole wheat flour. Beat 1 egg and add it in, mixing with your hands until it is crumbly.
Spread the topping evenly over the plums and bake for ~35 min.
In case the whole wheat flour didn’t mark me as a total hippie, I had the leftovers with yogurt sprinkled with flax meal (which I decided is amorphously good for me so I eat it sometimes. I forget why it is good for me, though.)
