Plum Clafoutis
Description
Plum Clafoutis begins with medium-sized plums spread in a well-buttered 9-inch cast iron skillet, cut side up to showcase their flesh. The batter is prepared by whisking eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth, then incorporating flour and salt for structure. This batter pours evenly over the plums, surrounding them throughout the dish.
Baking at 350°F for about an hour creates a custardy base that rises slightly and firms, while the plums soften but retain their juiciness. The edges brown to a golden tone, providing a slight contrast to the creamy interior. The result is a gentle balance between fruity sweetness and a tender, pancake-like texture.
This dessert is best served warm and dusted with powdered sugar, pairing nicely with coffee. Leftovers store for a short time in the refrigerator, making it suitable for an elegant yet uncomplicated dessert or afternoon treat featuring seasonal plums.
