For the vanilla custard

· 4 tbsp superfine sugar
· 1 tsp corn flour
For the roasted plum compote
· 6 plums, pitted, roughly chopped

Recipe steps
For the dumplings, mix warm milk, dried yeast and 1 tsp sugar. Leave in a warm place for 10 minutes until bubbles surface. Combine flour, the rest of the sugar, egg, melted butter and yeast mixture in large bowl. Stir until a ball forms, then work by hand. Tip onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes until dough is smooth and springy. Place into an oiled bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
While the dough is proofing, make the vanilla custard. Put all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a heatproof jar (about 2 cups capacity) and close the lid. Place jar in Smart Double Wall Oven with Flex Duo™ and pour water in the reservoir at the top corner of oven.
Insert the The Flex Duo™ removable divider. Steam custard for 2 minutes in the Double Wall Oven with Flex Duo™. Remove custard from oven. Remove lid. Stir. Re-cover and leave for 15 minutes. As custard cooks, place plums in a roasting pan. Add orange juice, cinnamon, star anise and drizzle with honey. Roast in top oven at 325°F for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove plums from oven and leave to cool so they are served warm or at room temperature.
When dough is almost done proofing, prepare poaching liquid. Put milk, honey and melted butter in a large ovenproof dish and whisk until evenly combined. Divide dough into eight equal balls, tucking seams in underneath to give each a smooth top.
Place balls in poaching liquid, leaving space between each. Place dish in Double Wall Oven with Flex Duo™, add water to the reservoir and steam. After 40 minutes, check if tops of dumplings are firm to the touch. Cook for 5 more minutes if needed, then scoop out onto plates. Discard remaining poaching liquid.
Place a heaping spoonful of roasted plum compote on top of individually plated dumplings. Drizzle vanilla custard on top of your sweet dumplings and serve with extra roasted plum compote and custard on the side as desired.
