Instructions
For the Plum Lavender Clafoutis
- Preheat the oven to 350°F [180°C]. Evenly butter the bottom and sides of a large cast-iron skillet.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the plums with half of the granulated sugar. Assemble the plums in the cast-iron skillet however you fancy.
- In the same large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, lavender, Rose Salt, and the remaining granulated sugar until well blended.
- Add the milk and vanilla and whisk until just combined.
- Pour the mixture into the skillet over the plums and bake for about 50 minutes or until just set. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Using a fine-mesh sieve, sprinkle confectioners’ sugar over the top. Serve immediately.
For the Rose Salt
- In a food processor or spice grinder, grind the rose petals for 5-10 seconds, checking the petals regularly until they resemble small flakes. Be sure not to grind them into a powder.
- In a small bowl, stir together the salt and rose petals. For optimal flavor, wait about 1 week before using, though you can use immediately if needed.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 year.
