Easy Peasy Plum Clafouti Recipes

EASY PEASY PLUM CLAFOUTI!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas6. Grease a shallow ovenproof dish (1.5l capacity). Arrange the plums in the dish, spreading them in an even layer. Place in the oven for 5 minutes so the dish will be hot when you come to pour the batter (important!).
• Sift the flour into a bowl and add the sugar. Mix the coconut milk, milk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk into the flour mixture to make a smooth batter. I usually just throw it all in a belnder & whizz until I have a smooth batter!
• Pour the batter over the fruit. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until set and golden in colour.
• Scatter the dessicated coconut over the top and serve straight away with whatever you fancy (see my ideas above).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 10 inch pie plate, and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the bottom.
• Arrange the plum halves, cut side down, so that they cover the entire bottom of the pie plate. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top of the plums. In a blender, combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar, eggs, milk, flour, lemon zest, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Process until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour over the fruit in the pan.
• Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and lightly browned. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C) then butter a cast 9 inch cast iron skillet, set aside.
• Cut the plums in half, working around the pit to remove it. Toss the plums with 1/3 cup of the sugar.
• Once the plums have been coated in sugar, arrange them evenly in the skillet cut side up.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, flour, and salt. Lastly, add in the milk and vanilla and whisk until a batter is formed.
• Pour the batter over the plums into the cast iron pan.
• Bake the clafoutis for about an hour or until it has risen, the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for just 10 minutes. Dust with powders sugar and serve. Note: Clafoutis will deflate over time so best to serve it fresh from the oven.
• Cover and store leftover clafoutis in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
