JULIA CHILD'S BERRY CLAFOUTIS



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.)

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

Julia Child's Clafouti
serves 6-8
1 1/4 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup flour
3 cups cherries, pitted
1/3 cup sugar
powdered sugar

Steps:

  • In a blender blend the milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt and flour. Pour a 1/4 inch layer of the batter in a buttered 7 or 8 cup lightly buttered fireproof baking dish. Place in the oven until a film of batter sets in the pan. Remove from the heat and spread the cherries over the batter. Sprinkle on the 1/3 cup of sugar. Pour on the rest of the batter. Bake at 350 degrees for about for about 45 minutes to an hour. The clafouti is done when puffed and brown and and a knife plunged in the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries for the best flavor. If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Pit the cherries before using. You can use a cherry pitter to make this task easier.
  • Use a heavy bottomed skillet to cook the cherries. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the cherries until they are soft and starting to release their juices.
  • Use a blender or food processor to make the batter. This will help to ensure that the batter is smooth and lump-free.
  • Pour the batter over the cherries in the skillet. Be careful not to overfill the skillet, or the clafoutis will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the clafoutis in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the clafoutis cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
