Plum Clafoutis

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon kosher salt

3 eggs

¼ cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2/3 cup heavy cream

1 pound red plums, halved and pitted

Confectioners' sugar, as needed for dusting

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and position a rack in the center of the oven. Coat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with the butter and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir to combine. Set aside.

Combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cream in a blender, and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the flour and pulse just until the mixture is combined, about five times.

Pour the mixture into the prepared skillet. Arrange the plums, cut-side up, around the pan, nestled into the batter.

Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes before dusting with confectioners' sugar and serving.
