Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 lb Plums
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • ½ cup Whipping cream
  • 2 cup Whole milk
  • 3 Eggs (large)
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • ¼ cup All purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven at 325°F/ 165°C/ Gas Mark 3
  • Pan - Generously brush the baking pan with soft room temperature butter. For this recipe, your can use either a 9-inch pie pan or an 8-inch cast-iron skillet. Or as I am a 7 x 9-inch baking pan. Set aside.
  • Fruit - Wash plums and pat dry. Cut each fruit in half then slice each half into 6 slices approximately.
  • Custard - Place all remaining ingredients in a food processor. Blend until smooth.Pro tip - blend until just combined, as we do not want to activate the gluten in the flour. You can also do this with a whisk in a bowl but ensure you have no lumps.
  • Assemble - Arrange plums in the dish as desired. Sprinkle with sugar. Gently pour the custard batter over the plums. Pro tip - I use the back of my spoon to soften the pour so it won't ruin my fruit arrangement.
  • Bake - Bake on the middle rack for about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.Pro tip - when done the batter will look set with not jiggly and with a slight puff. This puff will settle as it cools
  • Serving - A clafoutis can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold. Serve on its own or dusted with powdered sugar. You can also serve with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
