Plum Clafouti recipe

8 servings

6 tablespoons white sugar, divided

14 Italian prune plums, halved and pitted

3 eggs

1 1/3 cups milk

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 pinch salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

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.
