Plum Clafouti

A oven-baked crepe that makes a great dessert any time, but especially when you don’t want to spend time in the kitchen. I love it with juicy plums and also figs. It is a close relative of one with pears and cherries.. – some slight differences in the balance of the components (more eggs, resting the dough before baking.. ) – not very important, one should experiment and set one’s preferences.
