Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 Plums
- 75 grams Granulated sugar
- 75 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 240 milliliters Whole milk
- 3 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Wash the plums, then halve them and remove the pits. Cut each half into quarters if desired for smaller pieces.
Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round or oval baking dish with the unsalted butter, ensuring the bottom and sides are evenly coated.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the eggs to the dry mixture and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the whole milk and vanilla extract while whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
Arrange the plum pieces in a single layer on the bottom of the greased baking dish, cut side down.
Pour the batter evenly over the plums, ensuring they are mostly submerged but may peek through the surface slightly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the clafouti is puffed, golden, and set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean.
Remove the clafouti from the oven and allow it to cool slightly, as it will deflate as it cools.
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
