Easy Peasy Plum Clafouti!

Um Safia's Note:

A classic plum recipe which is easy to make, takes hardly any time and is delicious - eat is with your choice of accompaniment... ice cream, custard, whipped cream, mascarpone etc. Enjoy!

• Total Time: 45 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

Yield: 4.0 decent ...

• 15 g butter, for greasing
• 500 g plums, halved & stoned
• 75 g plain flour
• 50 g caster sugar or 50 g granulated sugar
• 200 ml creamy coconut milk
• 50 ml skim milk
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas6. Grease a shallow ovenproof dish (1.5l capacity). Arrange the plums in the dish, spreading them in an even layer. Place in the oven for 5 minutes so the dish will be hot when you come to pour the batter (important!).
2. Sift the flour into a bowl and add the sugar. Mix the coconut milk, milk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk into the flour mixture to make a smooth batter. I usually just throw it all in a belnder & whizz until I have a smooth batter!
3. Pour the batter over the fruit. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until set and golden in colour.
4. Scatter the dessicated coconut over the top and serve straight away with whatever you fancy (see my ideas above).

I loved this clafoutis and it REALLY is easy peasy! We had fresh custard with it and I realised that I should have made 2 of these as we all wanted seconds. The coconut was an interesting addition to the recipe. Can't wait to have it again..
