Julia Child's Berry Clafoutis image

This recipe is for a delicately sweet dessert whose elegance should not distract from its ease (it can be made while the rest of dinner is in the oven). Make sure you have fresh berries, and serve the result warm. We call for blueberries or blackberries here, but feel free to try it with whatever seasonal fruit catches your eye.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Butter for pan
1 and 1/4 cups whole or 2 percent milk
2/3 cup granulated sugar, divided
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
1 pint (2 generous cups) blackberries or blueberries, rinsed and well drained
Powdered sugar in a shaker

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a medium-size flameproof baking dish at least 1 1/2 inches deep.
  • Place the milk, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt and flour in a blender. Blend at top speed until smooth and frothy, about 1 minute.
  • Pour a 1/4-inch layer of batter in the baking dish. Turn on a stove burner to low and set dish on top for a minute or two, until a film of batter has set in the bottom of the dish. Remove from heat.
  • Spread berries over the batter and sprinkle on the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Pour on the rest of the batter and smooth with the back of a spoon. Place in the center of the oven and bake about 50 minutes, until top is puffed and browned and a tester plunged into its center comes out clean.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving. (Clafoutis need not be served hot, but should still be warm. It will sink slightly as it cools.)

BLUEBERRY-GINGER CLAFOUTIS



Blueberry-Ginger Clafoutis image

One of the most wonderful ways to celebrate fresh (and, in this case, even frozen) fruit, clafoutis originated in the Limousin region of France. Here, a small part of the batter is baked in the baking dish, then the berries, ginger and the rest of the batter is layered on top to prevent the blueberries from sinking and burning. For maximum lemon flavor, zest the lemon over the batter in Step 3. You can substitute any type of fresh fruit - berries, grapes, or cherries; just remember to adjust the amount of sugar you add accordingly.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened, for greasing the pan
2 cups/480 milliliters whole milk, at room temperature
3 large eggs
1 cup/200 grams plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup/128 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon ground green cardamom
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups/280 grams fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup/55 grams crystallized ginger, chopped small
Confectioners' sugar, for finishing (optional)

Steps:

  • Place a rack at the upper level and a second in the middle of the oven. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease a 9-inch ceramic or glass baking dish or deep-dish pie plate (at least 1 1/2 quart capacity) well with butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, 1 cup sugar, flour, zest, cardamom and salt until smooth and combined, the sugar is dissolved, and there are no visible flecks of flour.
  • Pour enough batter into the greased baking dish to cover the base by about 1/2 inch. Place the baking dish on the top rack of the oven and cook until the batter is just about set - it should jiggle slightly in the center - about 15 to 17 minutes.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven. Arrange the blueberries and the ginger on top in a single layer. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the fruit. Pour the remaining batter over the fruit, return the dish to the oven, and bake on the middle rack until the batter is completely cooked, about 60 to 65 minutes. The edges should be slightly firm and golden brown, and the center slightly jiggly. A knife inserted in the middle should come out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Dust the top of the clafoutis with confectioners' sugar to taste and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries will give your clafoutis the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the clafoutis tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the clafoutis in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the clafoutis rise and set properly.
  • Let the clafoutis cool slightly before serving: This will help the clafoutis hold its shape when you cut it.

Conclusion:

Blueberry buttermilk clafoutis is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up fresh blueberries and it's also a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a simple but impressive dessert, give blueberry buttermilk clafoutis a try. You won't be disappointed.
