Super easy, super tasty and presents really well. There is no liquid ingredients other than the eggs, I think this must of been a mistake. I added about 1/2 cup of milk to get a 'batter' consistancy. Just pour a bit at a time till you get the right consistanty, you want it thick enough that the plums don't sink!
