Ingredients

  • 1 lb plums (454 grams, 4 large)
  • ¼ cup orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier (60 ml)
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar , divided (133 grams)
  • 1 cup whole milk (267 ml)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (60 grams)
  • Pinch salt
  • Powdered sugar , for dusting

Instructions

  • Toss the plums with the orange liqueur and ⅓ cup of the sugar in a bowl and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a blender, combine the milk, eggs, vanilla, flour, salt and remaining ⅓ cup sugar. Add ¼ cup of the liquid from the macerated plums. Blend until smooth.
  • Pour just enough batter into the prepared dish to coat the bottom. Place in the oven and bake until set, about 5 minutes. Remove and scatter the plums over the baked later. Pour remaining batter over the plums.
  • Bake until puffed and golden, 40-50 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Clafoutis will deflate as it cools.
