September | Plum Clafloutis

All summer I’ve been trying to write something that isn’t absolute drudgery to read.
Not there yet.
This is one of my favorite desserts and it’s so easy there’s no reason not to make dessert. Especially with plums also good with cranberries, sour cherries, or currants.

Rum Plum Clafoutis

1 lb plums, cut into wedges

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/4 tsp salt

2 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup milk

1 tbsp butter, melted

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp rum

Heat oven to 400F

Evenly fill a 9 inch baking dish with the plums

Whisk together everything else and pour over the plums

Place in the oven and then reduce the temperature to 350F

Bake until the custard is set and browned, usually about 25 minutes

Serve warm or room temp. It will last for a couple of days on the counter

NOTE: I often make this with oat milk, oat or buckwheat flour, and olive oil for a gluten free/ dairy free option
