It is really nice to come home to a delicious and beautiful dessert. Ashley recently made clafoutis with blackberries and I absolutely loved it. She thought it was overcooked, but I cannot imagine a better consistency. Also, it was made with blackberries, so it wasn’t too too sweet, and was actually even tangy, and wonderful. I predict many clafoutis in the summer, featuring many fruits (I am terribly excited to try a pomegranate one!). I have to admit that I wasn’t there for any of the baking process, but I can assure you that this was delicious!
- 200g flour
- 120g sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 3 eggs
- 80g butter, melted
- 250ml whole milk
- 400g blackberries
Combine the flour, salt, and sugar, then beat the eggs in. Mix in the melted butter, and add the milk. Make sure everything is very very smooth. In a greased springform pan, scatter the berries, and pour the batter over them. Bake at 400 F for 30 minutes. This is a wonderful dessert, but, as we noticed, also appropriate for breakfast, snacks, and ummm, dinner. It’s nice to be a grown-up.

Plums… wait until they’re almost free in the summer and make a plum clafouti. It’s so great, it seems like a waste to eat them raw. And that’s from ME, who just loves them any which way.
