Step by step
Get ahead
Prepare up to the end of step 4 a few hours ahead.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Put the plums in a roasting tray, scatter with the sugar and then dot with the butter. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until soft and sticky. Set aside to cool.
- Butter a large baking dish (about 23cm x 33cm). Overlap the slices of brioche in the buttered dish, then tuck the roasted plums in between the slices.
- In a bowl, whisk together all the remaining pudding ingredients and pour this over the brioche slices. Leave to soak for around 30 minutes.
- Reduce the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Meanwhile, make the crumble topping. Put the flour in a bowl and add the cubed butter. Rub in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir through the oats, demerara sugar and hazelnuts.
- Sprinkle the crumble over the surface of the pudding. Place the dish in a roasting tray then half-fill the tray with boiling water. Transfer to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown.
