 Categories: Fruits, Booze, Desserts
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      2 lg Eggs; separated
      2 lg Egg yolks
    1/2 c  Armagnac
    1/2 ts Kosher salt
    1/4 ts Vanilla extract
      4    Italian plums' halved;
           - pitted
           Confectioners' sugar; for
           - dusting
 
  In a small saucepan, whisk 4 tablespoons granulated
  sugar with the 4 egg yolks and then stir in the Armagnac
  and salt. Place over medium heat, and cook, stirring
  constantly, until the custard is thickened, about 8
  minutes. Remove the custard from the heat and stir in
  the vanilla.
  
  In a large bowl, whisk the 2 egg whites with the
  remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until they hold
  soft peaks. Scrape the whites into the custard and fold
  until evenly combined.
  
  Heat the broiler. In an 8" round baking dish, arrange
  the plums cut side up and broil until heated through and
  beginning to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the
  dish from the broiler, spoon the custard over and around
  the plum halves, and return to the broiler until the
  custard turns golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  
  Dust the plums and custard with confectioners' sugar and
  serve hot right from the dish.
