Damson Slump

 

  

                                                                                 

Ingredients

  • 1kg damson
  • 200g golden caster sugar
  • 125g self-raising flour
  • 125-150ml milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter , melted
  

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the damsons in 4-6 ovenproof dishes (or one large dish) and sprinkle evenly with 150g of the sugar.
  2. Sift the flour and remaining sugar into a bowl with a pinch of salt. Whisk in enough milk and the butter to make a thick, smooth mixture that will just fall off the spoon. Spoon big blobs over the damsons but don't worry if the fruit is not completely covered - it will bubble through it as it cooks. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the tops are golden. Leave for 20 minutes before serving.
