Ripe summer plums fresh off the tree are lightly caramelized with honey and nutmeg, then baked into a traditional French dessert with a custardy batter.
Whisk 1/2 cup (125 ml) filtered water into the egg replacer in a medium mixing bowl until smooth.
Set the oven to 350F/180C/gas mark 4 and put the cast iron skillet in the oven to preheat.
Wash the plums. Cut in half and remove the pits using a paring knife. See this post on how to pit plums.
Add the flours, milk, syrup, extract, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl and whisk until smooth.
Once the oven has reached temperature, remove the skillet with a hot pad and add the Earth Balance and honey/syrup, swirling to coat evenly. Place the plums cut sides down in the pan and cook for a minute or two to caramelize. Pour over the batter and place the pan in the oven.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until firm and set. Serve warm with optional vanilla ice cream.
