My take on the traditional dessert - it fills the house with a gorgeous aroma of plums, lemon and vanilla. Use ripe plums or damsons when they're in season from end August through October.

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 1 hour

Preheat the oven to 190 C / Gas mark 5. Butter a 25cm fluted flan tin and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of caster sugar over the bottom.

Arrange the plum halves, cut side down, so that they cover the entire bottom of the pie dish. 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 icing sugar before serving.

Altered ingredient amounts. the second time i made the clafoutis, i left out the lemon zest just b/c i didn't have a lemon. the clafoutis was gorgeous either way! don't leave out the cinnamon, tho!

This was so pretty with little bits of plum peeking through the topping. My parents liked it because it wasn't overly sweet. Definately will make again.
