Plum Cobbler & babies on the mind!

With the birth or our second grandson last night, we have babies on the mind. Who can guess who the Lauritzen baby is in this old photo?





I decided to republish the "recipe" I use for a Plum Cobbler, since we just came back with boxes of fresh Colorado plums. I started with a recipe out of one of my Western Colorado cookbooks, and upon discovering that I didn't have some of the ingredients, it became quite modiified! I'm not a great one to measure accurately anyway, so this is a ROUGH idea of what went into the Plum Cobbler.
PLUM COBBLER
In one bowl mix together:
1 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tblsp baking powder
Cut in:
1/4 cup butter
Press 1/2 of the above mixure into an 8 X 12 pyrex baking dish.
In a large saucepan cook until thick:
A colander of plums (seeds removed and cut into 1/4ths or 1/8ths.
3-5 tblsp cornstarch
1 1/2 cups sugar.
Pour into baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top.
Bake at 350F with foil on top for about 30 minutes.
Remove foil and bake until the top gets golden and the filling looks bubbly.
To speed this dish up, you can bake on a higher temp and turn the broiler on to brown the top and then microwave for a couple minutes till center is bubbly.
(It hard to tell about the baking time, since everything takes about half again as long at high altitudes).
