Hot Plum Batter

Submitted by -Sylvie-

"This is a fairly low cal desert, as it doesn't use any oil and hardly any sugar. You can also make it using other fruits, such as apples or fresh or canned black cherries. Serve it directly from the oven to enjoy it at its best."

• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 lb ripe red plum, quartered and stoned
• 7 fluid ounces skim milk

directions

1. Lightly grease a large shallow ovenproof dish and add the plums.
2. Mix the milk, milk powder, sugar, vanilla, flour and egg whites into a smooth batter.
3. Pour all the batter into the ovenproof dish; it should just about cover the majority of plums.
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes in a preheated oven at 220 C/425 F/Gas 7, until it is well risen and has turned golden.
5. Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve straight away.
