And that is the way it’s performed:
Reduce the plums into quarters. Warmth the pan (approx. 7 inch in diameter, ideally forged iron), soften 2 tbsp cane sugar with 1 tbsp butter and a pinch of salt in it. Add the plums and simmer briefly. Then take away the pan from the warmth and organize the plums in a circle.
Combine the flour, egg, cream of tartar, spice, melted butter and milk in a bowl to kind a creamy, thick batter. Rigorously pour over the plums and unfold out. Notice: The plums ought to stay in a circle – don’t stir them in!
Place the pan again on the range, put the lid on and simmer over a medium warmth for 8-10 minutes. Then flip over (use a big plate to tip over and slide again into the pan the opposite method spherical) and prepare dinner for an additional 8-10 minutes on the opposite aspect till the cake is cooked via. Go away to chill for a short while.
Should you like, put some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on high – I favor it plain.
The one factor lacking is the espresso. Strive our Peruvian espresso with it, its chocolate flavors go rather well with it.
