Plum clafoutis

Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4. Butter a shallow 1/2 –litre ovenproof dish and cover the base with the prepared plums 2. Sieve the flour and salt into a large bowl and add the sugar.

Combine the eggs with the milk, oil and extract, and gradually whisk into the flour. Aim for a smooth batter – about the consistency of double cream.

Pour the batter over the plums and bake for about an hour until the batter is puffed, golden and set.

Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar just before serving, and serve warm, straight from the dish, with cream, ice cream or custard.
