Platz (coffee cake with fruit and crumbs)

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 cup butter

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 fresh egg (slightly beaten)
• 1 tsp. vanilla

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a 9X13 pan.
3. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and cut the butter in with a pastry blender until it the butter is like oatmeal in the mix. 
4. Combine milk, egg and vanilla and stir into flour mixture until just combined.
5. Spread into the prepared pan.
6. Top with finely diced fresh or frozen fruit of your choice . We prefer a tart fruit like rhubarb or halved Italian Plums but you can use other fruits as well.  You should use enough diced fruit to cover the batter in a single layer or enough plums to use a half plum per slice of platz.  

Crumb Topping

• 1 1/2 cups of flour
• 1/2 cup of butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cup of sugar

1. Combine the flour sugar and butter to make crumbs and sprinkle over the fruit.
2. Bake in the top 1/3 of your oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
