Servings: persons

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons plus 1 cup unbleached flour, divided
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
10 to 12 Italian prune plums, halved and pitted
1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean powder or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extra (optional)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, well beaten
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1
Heat the oven to 375u00b0 F.
2
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and the ground ginger. Add the plum halves and gently toss to combine. Arrange, cut side up, in a 9-inch pie plate set on a baking sheet (to catch leaks!).
3
In another small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, baking powder, remaining 1 cup flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, the vanilla bean powder (if using), and the salt. Stir in the egg and the vanilla extract (if using). Use your hands to squeeze and mix thoroughly to form soft clumps and bits. Scatter pinches of the dough evenly over the plums.
4
Pour the butter evenly over the topping and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is browned and the plums tender. Serve warm or at room temperature, with ice cream, creme fraiche, mascarpone, yogurt, or whipped cream.
