3/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped 1-1/2 cups flour 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons brown sugar 1-1/2 cups milk 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 cup fresh California plums, any variety, diced (about 1/2-inch dice) Additional fresh California plums for slicing
