Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: British
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ripe plums, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or a similar-sized ovenproof dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent the pudding from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Take the sliced plums and fold them gently into the batter. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. The plums will sink slightly during baking, which is perfectly normal.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help it set a little more.
- Serve warm, optionally with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence. Enjoy your delicious Plum and Vanilla Batter Pudding!
Tips
- Choose ripe, slightly soft plums for maximum flavor and natural sweetness.
- Don't overmix the batter - gentle stirring ensures a light, tender texture.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for smoother batter incorporation.
- Check the pudding's doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the pudding rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow it to set and make serving easier.
- For extra indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and gently reheat before serving to maintain its delightful texture.
