My take on the traditional dessert - it fills the house with a gorgeous aroma of plums, lemon and vanilla. Use ripe plums or damsons when they're in season from end August through October.

Ingredients

6 tablespoons caster sugar, divided

14 ripe plums or damsons, halved and stones removed

3 eggs

300ml (1/2 pint) semi-skimmed milk

75g (3 oz) plain flour

1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest

1 dessertspoon vanilla

1 pinch salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons icing sugar

Preparation method

1.		Preheat the oven to 190 C / Gas mark 5. Butter a 25cm fluted flan tin and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of caster sugar over the bottom.

2.		Arrange the plum halves, cut side down, so that they cover the entire bottom of the pie dish. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top of the plums.

3.		In a blender, combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar, eggs, milk, flour, lemon zest, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Process until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour over the fruit in the pan.

4.		Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and lightly browned.

5.		Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
