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!

What a nice afternoon at Lynn's with Denise, Shayne, Robert and Mattie and of course Lynn and Bob. Lynn had baked a fat yummy home made chocolate cake that was to die for-in honour of Robert's 16th birthday , which is coming up soon. Lynn's dinner of ribs and rice and turkey and veggies along with a salad that I brought, filled everyone up...very delicious Lynn!
It was very good to see both Shayne and Robert... I think it has been a few years at least! We had a nice little visit, not to mention cute Matthew, who has the vocabulary of a law proffessor! He explained a Playstation 3 game to me in great detail leaving me wanting to get a Playstation 3 for myself! Too funny! Sweet Abby was ever helping in the kitchen which showed her maturity level for sure.
I left for home around 7:30 and made it home in record time due to all the traffic...holeeee that highway is a busy one. I was home before 9:30 and still pretty wide awake!

Today was clean up and get beds changed and laundry done , vacuuming and all of those household chores tackled. I did get out in the rain to walk Silky for a short walk on the beach, but even she wanted out of the sogginess, and opted for an early return home.

Ok, time for tea and a piece of my plum delight...
made with Linda's recipe for a cottage ( cobbler drop dough) on top of a fruit filling. I used the thawed plums and strawberries that were in my UNPLUGGED freezer. Seems like the E-Man in his infinite electrical mode, left it unplugged... probably since last Wednesday. Fortunately only the top stuff was starting to thaw...hence the plum and strawberry delight.
I'll put the recipe in a separate post.
Have a great week everyone!
