This recipe is the first I actually, genuinely, did not like. To the point that I didn't eat it! There were several things I found unappetizing. Firstly, the plums got way to thick and gummy, and they tasted bitter oddly. The biscuit topping was dry and sandy textured. Together I was totally unimpressed. I'm not sure if it was even my fault. I did make a half batch, and substituted cornstarch for tapioca, which I suppose could thicken a little stronger. I also used an odd shape ramekin, which would have altered the baking time. The biscuits were just plain bad, and I was sure not to over mix them. All and all it was a total fail. Boo!
Baking notes:
-As stated I halved the recipe, changed the size of the baking dish, and substituted cornstarch for tapioca.
-I also omitted the cinnamon and added a touch of ginger powder.
