This French dessert, made by baking fruit in a pancake-style batter, traditionally features cherries. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature with a sprinkling of icing sugar and a dollop of whipped cream.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 mL) blueberries
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup (125 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) melted butter, cooled
  • ½ cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ tsp (0.5 mL) salt
  • 1 cup (250 mL) milk
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
  • Icing sugar
  • 1 cup (250 mL) whipped cream

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Spray bottom and side of 9 or 10-inch (23 or 25 cm) quiche dish, deep pie plate, or cake pan with cooking spray. Spread blueberries in dish. Set aside.

  • Step 2

    Combine eggs, sugar and butter in medium bowl; whisk until blended. Add flour and salt; whisk until blended and smooth. Add milk and vanilla; whisk until smooth. Batter will be thin. Pour batter over blueberries.

  • Step 3

    Bake in preheated 375°F (190°C) oven until set and golden brown, about 35 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Remove from oven and let cool for 20 minutes. The clafouti will deflate a little as it cools. Sprinkle with icing sugar. Cut into wedges. Serve topped with a dollop of whipped cream.

Variations:

• Instead of blueberries, try other fruits such as raspberries, pitted cherries, or sliced apples, pears or apricots. You’ll need enough fruit to cover the bottom of the dish (2 to 3 cups/500 to 750 mL).

• Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to the batter.

• Use almond extract instead of vanilla.

• Instead of whipped cream, serve with ice cream, crème fraiche or vanilla yogurt.
