Step 1

Heat the oven to 350 F, and then butter a baking dish.

Step 2

Combine the milk, eggs, sugar, flour, salt, and brandy together in a high-speed blender or food processor, and purée until it forms a smooth light batter.

Step 3

Arrange the plum halves in the buttered dish in a single layer. Then, pour the batter over the plums and transfer the dish to the oven. Bake the clafoutis until it's a deep golden brown, and the center wobbles very slightly when you adjust the pan - about 40 minutes.

Step 4

Allow the clafoutis to cool for a few minutes, and then dust it with confectioner's sugar. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
