I Normandy classic, it is a great way to eat up extra fruit from your tree. You can use other fruits as well. Cherries are a particular favourite.

preheat oven, 220C/425F
whisk the sifted flour, sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract and pinch of salt together, leave to rest for 30 minutes
butter a round ovenproof dish 25 cm (10 inch)
pour the batter into the dish, spread the plums, dust with sugar and cinnamon
bake for 25-30 minutes
after a few minutes out of the oven, the pudding will sink a bit but this will not spoil the taste, dust with icing sugar
