Ingredients

  • butter for greasing the dish
  • granulated sugar for dusting the dish
  • 1 ¼ cups milk*
  • 4 large eggs**
  • cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3-4 ripe but firm plums, pitted and sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch pie plate or similar sized oven-safe dish, then sprinkle with a little bit of granulated sugar. Roll the dish around so the sugar sticks to the butter, then shake out any excess.
  • Add the milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and flour to a bowl or blender jar. Vigorously whisk or blend to combine (I often use an immersion blender). Scrape down the sides for any stuck bits of flour and blend until very smooth and no lumps remain.
  • Arrange the plum slices in the bottom of the prepared dish, then pour batter over top. Bake until puffed and lightly golden brown, about 30-40 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve warm, room temperature or ice cold (my preference).

Notes

  • *I prefer whole milk, but any type of milk will work, including non-dairy varieties.
  • **to substitute duck eggs, as I did, use 3 big ones in place of the 4 chicken eggs.
