I found a very good deal on prune plum last week. It only cost 49cents per pound. I bought more than 7 pounds with the help of Polly. I like prune plum because it is very convenient to munch on due to its small size. I presume it also has the laxative quality like prune and plum.

Since I bought so much prune plum, I have to use some of them in baking. I found this Prune Plum Clafouti which is very simple to make and sounds fancy.

The Prune Plum Clafouti turns out pretty nice with the mild eggy and lightly sweet topping and a hint of tartness from the fruit at the bottom.

This is another great summer recipe which works just as well with many other summer fruits.

Ingredients

• 12 fresh prune plums or one 3/4lb canned plums, drained, pitted
• 1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons self-raising flour
• 1/4 cup castor sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons milk
• 3 oz (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F.

Cut each prune plums into 4 pieces and put them in a greased shallow ovenproof dish (3 cups capacity).

Sift the flour and sugar into a medium bowl.

Combine the eggs, milk and butter in a bowl.

Make a well in the centre of the flour/sugar mixture. Gradually stir the eggs/milk/butter mixture into the flour mixture. Stir the batter until smooth.

Spoon the batter evenly between the prune plums. Bake for about 30 minutes.

The Prune Plum Clafouti is firm and golden brown at the end of the baking. Serve warm.
