- Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Tip the damsons into a 1-litre baking dish and sprinkle over the sugar. Put the dish in the oven while you make the cobbler.
- To make the cobbler, whizz the butter, flour and sugar and a pinch of salt to fine breadcrumbs in a food processor. Mix in the buttermilk or milk to make very soft, spoonable dough.
- Take the baking dish out of the oven and spoon blobs of dough over the damsons, sprinkle the cobbler with nuts and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the damson mixture is bubbling and the cobbler is cooked through - test it with a skewer as you would a cake. Serve with crème fraîche or custard.
