Method

  1. Step 1:

    Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan 170°C, gas mark 4).

  2. Step 2:

    Mix the stoned fruit with a tablespoon of the sugar in a pan set over a medium heat and cook until the sugar has dissolved and the fruit has softened a little, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3:

    Meanwhile, put the remaining sugar in a bowl with the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix well and add the butter.

  4. Step 4:

    Crumble between the tips of you fingers, and stir in the milk. The dough should just come together in the bowl, but not drop from the spoon.

  5. Step 5:

    Spoon the fruit into an ovenproof dish. Spoon the cobbler dough over the surface of the fruit. Brush with milk and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.

  6. Step 6:

    Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until golden brown on top.
