Damson flan (Zwetschgendatschi)
Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 500 g flour
- 250 ml milk
- 30 g yeast
- 125 g sugar
- 125 g butter
- 2 eggs
- a pinch of salt
For the topping:
- 1.5-2.5 kg damson plums, i.e. the later, sweeter relative of the plum which exudes less juice
Method:
Using part of the flour, the lukewarm milk and the yeast, make an initial dough and allow it to rise for approximately 15 minutes.
Incorporate the remaining ingredients into the dough and allow it to stand once again. Roll out the dough thinly and place it on a baking tray.
Place the quartered damson plums in rows on the dough (otherwise the topping will be too thin!).
Bake for approximately 25 minutes at 200°C.
After it has been allowed to cool, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar if desired.
