Clafouti ( pronounced kla-foo-tee) is dessert (somewhere between a custard and a cake) popular in the French countryside. It is traditionally made with cherries but blueberries have been on sale at Aldi all week. (you can't beat $.99 / lb) Besides blueberries are my favorite.
Julia's recipe serves 6-8 as a simple & wonderful dessert or 4 as an indulgent breakfast (one that would make Paula Deen proud).
- 1 1/4 C. milk
- 2/3 C. sugar (divided)
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbs vanilla
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup flour
- 3 C. fruit
- powdered sugar (for garnish)
Preheat your oven to 350*. Blend the milk, eggs, vanilla, flour, salt, & 1/3 C. sugar in a blender. (You can mix all of this by hand or with a mixer if you do not have a blender.)
Lightly butter an 8 cup baking dish. Pour in a 1/4 inch layer or batter and pop into the oven just until a thin layer of film has set up. Then add your fruit and sprinkle on the other 1/3 C. of sugar. Top all of that with the remaining batter and put back into the oven for 45 min to an hour. The clafouti is done when it is puffed, browned, and a knife poked into the center comes out clean.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm. (and a little vanilla ice cream never hurts either)
