Ingredients
- 2 tbs Butter
- 1 cup Flour all purpose
- 1 1/2 cups Whole Milk
- 1/3 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Lemon Zest
- 5 Plums ripe
Notes
- It helps to bring the batter together if the ingredients are at room temperature. (milk, cream, and eggs)
-To change the flavor use almond flour and almond extracts.
-Dust with confectioners' sugar or icing sugar after the plum dessert has cooled.
-Any heavy-bottomed ovenproof dish with works like a tart pan or stoneware pie dish. Be sure to butter the base of the pan.
-Use white granulated sugar or monk fruit sweetener instead but I love the richness in a brown sugar plum clafoutis.
-If the plums are really sweet you can reduce the sweetener to 1/4 cup sugar or add more if they are too tart. Just add or reduce the amount in the custard mixture.
-Use a food processor instead of a blender. If you don't have either of these, put the batter into a large bowl. Beat vigorously with a whisk until there are no lumps and the batter is smooth.
-Cut the plums on a cutting board, remove the pit or stone in the center, and slice thinly.
