Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 2 peaches, sliced
Serving (optional)
- Powdered sugar
- Ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare skillet: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Using a pastry brush, spread the melted butter evenly throughout a 9-inch cast iron skillet or a deep 9-inch pie pan, then set aside.
- Make the batter: In a bowl, whip together the eggs and light brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smooth. Gradually add in the flour, salt, whole milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
- Assemble the clafoutis: Carefully pour the batter into the prepared skillet. Gently place the blueberries and sliced peaches evenly on top of the batter.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the clafoutis to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter and better rise.
- You can substitute other fruits like cherries, plums, or raspberries according to season and preference.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the custard tender and creamy.
- Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
