In this take on the classic French baked dessert, I have swapped the cherries for seasonal blueberries and blackberries. This delightful blueberry and blackberry clafoutis makes for a delicious summer dessert or brunch recipe. Serve as such or with a scoop of ice cream!
You will need:
  • Butter - 1 tbsp, melted, for brushing the pan
  • Blueberries - 1 cup
  • Blackberries - ½ cup
  • Coarse sugar - 2 tbsp, divided
  • Eggs - 3, large
  • Sugar - ¼ cup
  • All-purpose flour - ½ cup, sifted
  • Salt - ¼ tsp
  • Lemon zest - 1 tsp
  • Milk - 1¼ cup, whole-fat preferred
  • Vanilla extract - ½ tsp
How to:
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 deg.F. Liberally brush a shallow 9" pie plate with melted butter.
  2. Scatter the berries evenly on the bottom of prepared pan. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of coarse sugar on top. Set aside while you prep the batter.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk or beat the eggs and sugar together till light and creamy. Mix in flour, salt and lemon zest. Add milk and vanilla extract and whisk to make a smooth batter. Alternately, you can use a blender to blend them all to a smooth batter.
  4. Pour batter carefully over the berries. Sprinkle remaining tablespoon of coarse sugar on top.
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes or till center is just set. (Actual baking time may vary depending on amount and type of fruit used).
  6. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Dust with powdered sugar, cut and serve. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if you like.
Notes:
1. You can use other fruits like pitted cherries, sliced apples, pears, peaches, strawberries, etc.
