Instructions
Position one oven rack to the lower position and the second one to the upper-middle position. Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread chopped plums in an even layer across the baking sheet. Roast for about 15 minutes on the upper rack, just until tender. Transfer plums to a medium bowl, toss with lemon juice, set aside.
Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on the lower rack in the heated oven for about 10 minutes. Leave the skillet in the oven while you prep the custard.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla and almond extracts, and salt until combined, about 1 minute. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Add the cream and milk and whisk until incorporated.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and set it on a wire rack. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom and sides. Pour the batter into the skillet and quickly arrange the plums over the top. Return the skillet to the lower rack in the heated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the clafoutis puffs up and turns light golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the top with confectioners' sugar, slice, and serve.
