Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole plums
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash, pit, and slice the plums in half or quarters, depending on their size.
Grease a 9-inch round baking dish with the unsalted butter, ensuring even coverage.
Arrange the plum slices in the prepared baking dish with the cut sides facing up. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until combined.
Add the eggs to the dry mixture and whisk until smooth. Gradually pour in the milk and whisk until the batter is free of lumps.
Stir in the vanilla extract for a touch of flavor.
Pour the batter evenly over the plums in the baking dish, ensuring all the fruit is submerged.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the clafouti is puffed, golden, and the center is set.
Remove the clafouti from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. It will deflate slightly as it cools.
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for a sweet finishing touch.
Slice into wedges and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy your Easy Peasy Plum Clafouti!
