Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish with unsalted butter.
2. Arrange the pitted mirabelle plums with the cut side facing up in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until frothy and thoroughly mixed.
5. Gradually pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and creamy.
6. Carefully pour the batter over the arranged mirabelle plums in the baking dish, ensuring they are evenly covered.
7. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed, set in the center, and golden brown on top.
8. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
9. Serve warm or at room temperature, enjoying this delicious, custard-like treat.
