Plum custard puddings

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes, plus resting time

Cooking Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

2 free-range egg yolks
4 free-range eggs
110 g caster sugar
150 g flour
2 cups milk
Canola oil, for greasing
8 ripe plums, halved and pitted
Light brown sugar, for sprinkling

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Using an electric beater, whisk the egg yolks, eggs and caster sugar together until smooth.

Add the flour and milk, a little at a time, and continue to whisk until the mixture has incorporated.

Run through a fine sieve and set aside for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, grease a large ovenproof bowl or 4 smaller bowls with canola oil and place on a tray in the oven for 10 minutes, or until hot.

Remove and arrange the plums in the bowl or bowls before adding the batter to just cover the fruit.

Sprinkle with brown sugar and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and slightly wobbly.

Cook’s note: Serve warm, with fresh cream.
