CLEMENTINE CLAFOUTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grease a gratin dish with a 1 or 2 teaspoons of butter (size suggestions: 9x5x2 gratin dish or 10" round deep pie plate or porcelain dish.
• Dust dish with flour, rotating pan so flour sticks to all the butter.
• Invert the dish to remove excess flour.
• Remove any thick white strands and the fine webbing that comes off easily from the clementines.
• In a large bowl, whisk eggs until frothy.
• Add granulated sugar and salt. Whisk until combined.
• Add cream and milk. Whisk until smooth.
• Add 1/2 cup flour and stir until just combined.
• Layer clementine sections in dish (they should come to almost the top of the dish).
• Pour batter over fruit until it's as close to the top of the dish as reasonably possible (there may be leftover batter).
• Bake for about 40 minutes or until nicely browned on top and a knife inserted into it comes out clean.
• Sift some powdered sugar over dessert and serve warm or at room temperature.
• Note: Must be served within a couple of hours of making it.
• Note: You could add 1 little vanilla, anise or 1 rose water if desired though it certainly isn't necessary.
• Makes at least 6 servings.
