Ingredients (serves 3-4):
- 125ml milk
- 125ml double cream
- 2-3 drops vanilla essence
- 4 free-range eggs
- 170g caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon of plain flour
- 30g butter
- 500g plums, cut in half, stones removed
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 30g flaked almonds
- Icing sugar – for dusting
- Double cream – to serve
Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C.
Pour the milk, cream and vanilla into a pan and bring to a gentle boil and simmer for a minute or so then remove from the heat to cool. Beat the eggs together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, then fold in the flour a little bit at a time.
Pour the cooled milk and cream mixture into the bowl with the whisked eggs in and whisk it all together lightly. Melt a little bit of butter in a pan and pour it into an oven dish. Add the plums and brown sugar to the oven dish and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and then pour over the batter mixture from the mixing bowl. Scatter almonds over the top of the pudding and then bake in the oven for up to 30 minutes or until golden brown on the top and set, but still light inside.
Serve up straight away with cream or ice-cream. Enjoy!
