While this is a very good cobbler (and with our bitter Chinese plums from the backyard tree it came out tasting like rhubarb), I just can't get the batter right. I stir it five times and it's already set up into something resembling pizza dough. Maybe more milk is needed?

This plum cobbler is delicious and EASY! It is my new favorite dessert recipe for summertime, when plums are plentiful. Thanks!

This recipe is GREAT!!! I had to make it at least 5 times in one week (when my dad brought home a bucket of plums). Everybody loved it, and all of my relatives kept raving about it!!

This turned out really well. We had some store-bought plums that were going to go to waste; I searched plum recipes and found this one, for which we had all the ingredients on-hand. (I substituted arrowroot for the corn starch.) I knew it was good when my wife asked for a second helping. She suggested cutting the plums into smaller pieces, instead of slices, and I agree that would probably make it even better. (She also said parboiling the plums would help.) The batter worked great for me, although a conventional pie dough would also be delicious.
