Instructions
Step 1
Marinate prunes in armagnac overnight, or longer, if you like. Drain prunes, reserving armagnac marinade.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 425°. Generously butter a 9" cast-iron skillet or baking dish. Combine vanilla extract, eggs, sugar, milk, 2 tbsp. of the armagnac marinade, and salt in a blender. Blend for a few seconds to mix ingredients, then add flour and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Pour batter into buttered skillet, then distribute prunes evenly over top. Bake until a skewer inserted into batter comes out clean and a golden brown crust has formed on top and bottom of clafoutis, about 30 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar if you like.
