Ingredients

  • 4 Large Eggs
  • ¾ c Milk I used whole milk
  • ½ c Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla
  • ⅛ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ c All Purpose Flour
  • 2 c Plums, pitted and cut into ¼'s or ⅙'s
  • Butter To grease pie plate
  • Confectioners Sugar for Dusting Optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350' F and lightly butter a 9" heavy pie plate. (I use a Pyrex glass pie plate)
  • In blender add eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and salt and blend well for 30-60 seconds.
  • Add flour and blend again until smooth, 60 seconds, then pour into greased pie plate.
  • Arrange the sliced plums over the top and bake in oven until it's lightly browned on the edges and has a slight jiggle in the middle, approximately 40-35 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly and serve warm, sprinkled with confectioners sugar.
    If serving later, rewarm slightly before serving. 

Notes

The proper consistency is like a clafoutis which is in between a cake and a custard. It is best achieved by not over cooking.
