Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Quick-cooking tapioca
  • 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 2 lb Red or black plums, pitted and sliced 3/8-inch thick (6 cups)
  • 1 batch Biscuit Dough (see notes), patted into shape
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted (or vegan substitute)
  • 1 cup Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, the cornstarch, quick-cooking tapioca, ground ginger, and the cinnamon.
  3. 3
    Add the sliced plums to the sugar mixture and toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
  4. 4
    Lightly butter the inside rim of six 1 1/2-cup ovenproof ramekins or baking cups.
  5. 5
    In a small bowl, combine the remaining sugar and ground ginger to create a topping mixture.
  6. 6
    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the biscuit dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch, adding more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
  7. 7
    Using a round cutter that is about 1/2 inch larger than the diameter of your ramekins, cut out 6 rounds of dough.
  8. 8
    Optional: Use small cutters to create decorative shapes from the dough scraps for appliques.
  9. 9
    Spoon the plum mixture and its juices evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
  10. 10
    Place a round of dough over each ramekin, tucking the excess dough inside the rim to seal it.
  11. 11
    Press the dough gently against the rim to ensure it adheres properly.
  12. 12
    If using decorative appliques, affix them to the top of the crust and brush them with melted butter.
  13. 13
    Brush the top of the dough with the remaining melted butter.
  14. 14
    Sprinkle the top of each pie with about 1 teaspoon of the ginger-sugar mixture.
  15. 15
    Using the tip of a sharp knife, slice a few vents in the center of the dough to allow steam to escape.
  16. 16
    Place the ramekins on a baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch one another.
  17. 17
    Bake for 20 minutes at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  18. 18
    Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the tops are nicely browned and the filling is bubbling.
  19. 19
    Transfer the ramekins to a wire rack and allow to cool for 30 minutes before serving.
  20. 20
    Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
