Makes 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound of fruit such as cherries (pitted) or berries
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1 and 1/2 cups half and half
- powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter (softened, for buttering the dish)
Directions
1. Mix the Batter
Preheat the oven to 375˚ F.
Bring the half and half to a boil then remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla. Let the half and half cool for about 5 minutes before proceeding. It’s important for the batter to be smooth and well blended. Add the cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, flour, and salt to your bowl. Mix until there are no more lumps.
2. Assemble and bake the clafoutis
Butter the skillet or casserole dish and arrange the cherries. Pour the batter into the skillet over the cherries. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until fully cooked. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
