| ¾ c. | sugar |
| 1 c. | unbleached all-purpose flour, sifted |

Instructions

When serving this the simpler the better. I like to serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream or a heft dose of whipped cream.
Naptime Stopwatch
The batter takes about 10 minutes to pull together.
Naptime Reviews
My daughter loved the baked plums more than I expected. Baking them intensifies their flavor and sweetens them up which I think got her hooked.
