  • Cooking: 50 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (293 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 150 g Milk, whole
  • 18 g Semolina
  • 3 g Butter, unsalted
  • 25 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 12 g Sugar
  • 0.3 g Cardamom, ground
  • 0.2 g Salt
  • 8 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 15 g Prunes, pitted
  • 40 g Water
  • 1.5 g Potato starch
  • 20 g Cream, heavy

Method

  1. Bring the milk to the boil, whisk in the semolina and simmer for 5-8 minutes, stirring, until it thickens to a porridge. Let it cool for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat the oven to 200°C and butter an ovenproof dish.
  3. Beat the egg with two-thirds of the sugar, the cardamom and salt, then stir it into the porridge with the flour until smooth.
  4. Pour into the dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, until puffed, set and golden brown on top.
  5. Meanwhile make the prune cream: simmer the prunes in the water with the rest of the sugar for 10 minutes, until soft, and cut them up. Stir in the potato starch mixed with a spoonful of cold water and bring just to the boil, until it thickens; take it off the heat at once.
  6. Whip the cream. Serve the pancake warm or cold with the prune cream and the whipped cream.
