3. Place the plums in boiling water for 10 seconds and then cool them in cold water. Peel and halve the plums. Place them in the caramelized pans.

4. Distribute knobs of butter on the fruit. Increase the temperature to 355°F/180°C and bake for 10 min. Refrigerate the plums for 30 min.

6. Place the discs on the plums. Warm slightly over medium heat. Turn them out upside down on plates.
