Plum Dandy

This is a delicious recipe I uncovered while looking for things to make with the hundreds of plums we picked off our plum tree every fall. Sadly, the tree is gone. But this recipe brings back great memories.

I like to add about 1 Tsp. almond flavoring to the batter. And, I usually drizzle the plums with a little bit of honey.
