Separate the egg yolks from the whites and beat the whites until stiff. Set aside. Add the 2 tablespoons of milk and the two types of flour (mixed and sifted) to the egg yolks. Mix everything well with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth mixture, without any lumps. The mixture should be completely smooth.Then add this mixture to the milk, which has now boiled. Mix well, return to a low heat and stir until thickened. This cooking process usually takes about 15 minutes.Turn off the heat and stir to cool slightly. Then add the egg whites and fold in with a wooden spoon. Mix well. (Only add the egg whites when the mixture is lukewarm, almost cold).Finally, spoon the mixture into a deep earthenware dish (do not smooth it out, just shake the dish) and sprinkle with plenty of cinnamon.Bake at 350°F and when it starts to rise, tap it a few times and bake for 35 minutes.Do the toothpick test: if the center is dry, it's ready. Let it cool and serve with Elvas plums, along with their syrup.
