Ingredients
Original recipe makes 8 servings
7 tablespoons white sugar, divided
16 Italian prune plums, halved and pitted
5 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons grated lemon zest
4 teaspoons vanilla
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 10 inch pie plate, and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the bottom.
- Arrange the plum halves, cut side down, so that they cover the entire bottom of the pie plate. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top of the plums. 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.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and lightly browned. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
