Bakad plommonkompott

I know, it’s not the season for plums now, but it never hurts to be prepared! Just imagine, when your trees are weighed down with that delicious fruit and you’ve already used all your faithful recipes, then there’s this one to try! :-D

4 to 6 servings

10 to 12 plums

1 ¼ cup sugar
2 tablespoons Maizena
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3½ oz butter or margarine
1 egg
1 cup flour
1½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1/3 cup milk

Decoration:

powdered sugar
plums

Pit the plums, slice them and put them in an oven-proof dish. Mix 3/4 cup sugar, corn flour and cinnamon, sprinkle this over the plums and blend. Divide a little of the fat in pieces on top and bake the plums in the middle of the oven at 390F for 10 minutes.

Stir remaining sugar with remaining fat and egg. Mix flour, baking powder and vanilla sugar and stir this into the batter, alternating with the milk. Pour the batter over the plums, put back in the middle of the oven and bake at the same temp for 30 to 40 minutes or until the batter has set.

Sift with powdered sugar, decorate with plums in slices and serve, preferably with some whipped cream.

Enjoy!
