Berry Clafoutis

Yum, great choice! Here's a simple and delicious recipe for a Berry Clafoutis – a classic French dessert that’s somewhere between a custard and a pancake, baked with juicy berries. It’s rustic, elegant, and super easy to make.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs

• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

• 1 cup (240ml) whole milk

• 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream (or more milk for a lighter version)

• 2/3 cup (80g) all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen; blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.)

• Butter for greasing

• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

• Butter a 9-inch round baking dish or oven-safe skillet generously.

2. Make the Batter:

• In a bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until pale and frothy.

• Add milk, cream, vanilla, and salt. Mix well.

• Sift in the flour and whisk until smooth and lump-free.

3. Assemble:

• Scatter the berries evenly over the bottom of the greased dish.

• Pour the batter gently over the berries.

4. Bake:

• Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until puffed, golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

• It will puff up in the oven and then settle as it cools.

5. Serve:

• Let cool slightly.

• Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.

Optional:

• Serve with whipped cream, crème fraîche, or vanilla ice cream.
