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.

The joy of this simple plum dessert is that it is even better at room temperature. Think of it as a thick fruit pancake cooked effortlessly in the oven.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Butter a cast iron skillet and set aside. Trim the plums into wedges that are 1/4 inch wide on the skin side of the cut. Toss the plums with 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar, and arrange them evenly in the skillet and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, flour, and salt. Whisk in the milk and vanilla. Pour the batter into the skillet, and place on the center rack in the oven. Bake just until set, about 1 hour. When cooled, remove from the skillet and slice into wedges. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
Tips:
- Use ripe plums. Choose plums that are fully ripe and have a deep, rich color. This will ensure that your clafoutis is bursting with flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your clafoutis tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a hot oven. Clafoutis is best when baked in a hot oven. This will help it to rise and set properly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Clafoutis is delicious served warm or at room temperature. It can also be served chilled, but it is best to bring it to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
Clafoutis is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and rustic appearance, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give clafoutis a try. You won't be disappointed!
