Linda's Plum Delight (Cottage Pudding topping)



Prepare your fruit filling as for a pie
eg:
Put frozen plums into pot and cook till broken down. Thicken with cornstarch or bakers starch Pour into pie plate and top with cottage pudding.

Cottage Pudding Topping. Combine:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar ( or splenda) or half and half
2tsp Baking Powder
!/2 tsp salt

Beat in a seperate container
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine or butter melted
1 egg

Mix dry and wet with spoon till completely mixed kind of like muffins...don't overmix

PAt onto fruit in a pie pan that you have prepared like a pie filling one spoonful at a time starting at the outside and working around to inside. I often leave the centre free of crust.
Bake 350* 25-30 minutes or until topping is crisp and toothpick comes out clean.
It tastes yummy when it is warm fromt he oven with a spoonful of icecream on top!
This is an excellent way to serve up those frozen plums from the freezer, but any fruit could be used.
How about canned peaches for a peach cobbler... use a little cinnamon and sugar to top the topping!
