Nectarine Clafoutis image

When it comes to easy desserts, it's hard to beat the French country classic known as clafoutis. Baked until puffed and golden, the custard-like cake works well with almost any seasonal fruit. This version calls for a stone fruit that's often underused in baking: nectarines.

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 to 4 ripe nectarines
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
4 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with a 10-inch baking dish (1 1/2 to 2 inches deep) on center rack.
  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil. With a sharp knife, cut a shallow X into bottom of each nectarine. Add to pot and blanch 30 to 40 seconds. When cool enough to handle, use a paring knife to remove skin and pit; cut into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Puree milk, cream, eggs, yolks, vanilla seeds, granulated sugar, flour, and salt in a blender until smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a liquid-measuring cup.
  • Carefully remove preheated baking dish from oven and quickly brush with butter (caution: it will sizzle). Immediately pour in just enough batter to coat bottom of dish. Return to oven and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in remaining batter and arrange nectarines in a single layer, covering as much surface area as possible. Return to oven and bake until puffed and browned, 35 to 40 minutes more. Let cool slightly. Dust with confectioner's sugar; serve.

I followed the recipe exactly and my clafoutis turned out dense and gummy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This clafoutis was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I've made this clafoutis several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love the way the nectarines caramelize on top. I've also tried it with other fruits, like berries and peaches, and it's always great.
