Prepare the plums, by cutting them in half along the dimple from the root and twisting. Remove the pits.

Preheat the oven to 180cº

Place the plums, cut side down, in the baking tray.

Whisk the eggs then add the sugar. Slowly sift in the flour, while stirring, then add the cream, whisking thoroughly.

Pour the batter over the fruit.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until set.

This gorgeous pudding could be accompanied with some Umeshu, Japanese plum wine or some overproofed rum, for sipping.
