PLUM CLAFOUTIS
Clafoutis is a traditional French dessert made by pouring a custard over fruit and baking it. Quickly sautéing the fruit first concentrates its juice and creates a flavorful syrup that permeates the custard. You can make this dessert with any ripe but relatively firm fruit that will remain intact, such as cherries, apricots, pears, or figs.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F.
- Put the almonds in a 9-inch ceramic or metal pie plate and toast in the oven until pale golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a small bowl to cool, stir in 1 Tbs. of the sugar, and set aside. Return the pie plate to the oven and raise the temperature to 425°F.
- Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter is bubbling and hot, add the plums, and cook, turning, until they begin to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle 3 Tbs. of the sugar over the fruit. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the sugar melts into the fruit juices and becomes a syrup, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the brandy and amaretto.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and the remaining 3 Tbs. sugar. Whisk in the eggs until the mixture is completely smooth; then whisk in the milk, cream, and vanilla.
- Remove the pie plate from the oven and carefully butter it. Pour the fruit and syrup into the pie plate, spreading the fruit evenly.
- Pour the custard over the fruit (the pie plate will be very full). Bake, sprinkling the reserved almond topping over the batter halfway through baking, until puffy and the center is set, about 15 minutes.
- Let the clafoutis cool to warm, 10 to 15 minutes (it will deflate). Dust liberally with confectioners' sugar and serve.

PLUM CLAFOUTIS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange 2 racks equally spaced in the oven. Place six (6 1/2-inch) individual gratin dishes on 2 sheet pans.
- In a small bowl, combine the vanilla seeds with the 2 teaspoons of sugar. Butter the six gratin dishes well with the butter and sprinkle the dishes with the vanilla and sugar mixture. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs and the 2/3 cup sugar on medium speed, until blended. Lower the speed and add the flour, cream, milk, and Armagnac. Whisk in the star anise and salt just until combined and set aside for 10 minutes. The batter will look like pancake batter.
- Cut the plums in half through the stem, discard the pits, and cut each half in wedges, again cutting through the stem. Distribute half a plum to each gratin dish, placing them in a pinwheel pattern. Distribute the batter evenly in the gratins (the plums will only be half immersed in the batter) and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the custard is just set.
- Sprinkle with the orange zest and serve hot or warm.

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).

Tips:
- Use ripe plums: The riper the plums, the sweeter and more flavorful your clafoutis will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the clafoutis tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the clafoutis in a hot oven: This will help it to rise and become fluffy.
- Serve the clafoutis warm or at room temperature: Clafoutis is best enjoyed when it is still warm from the oven, but it can also be served at room temperature.
Conclusion:
Clafoutis is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and rustic charm, clafoutis is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give clafoutis a try. You won't be disappointed!
