Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium plums
- 3 large eggs
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) round or similar-sized baking dish with butter and set it aside.
Wash the plums, cut them in half, and remove the pits. Slice each half into quarters and set them aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and frothy.
Add the flour, salt, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to whisk, ensuring the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Pour a thin layer of the batter into the prepared baking dish and place it in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the batter just begins to set. Remove from the oven.
Arrange the plum slices in a single layer over the partially set batter. Pour the remaining batter evenly over the fruit.
Place the dish back in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed and golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the clafoutis from the oven and let it cool slightly before dusting it with powdered sugar.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, accompany with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
