Ingredients
Scale
Clafoutis Batter
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit Topping
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 2 peaches, sliced
For Serving (Optional)
- Powdered sugar
- Ice cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Using a pastry brush, spread the melted butter evenly throughout a 9-inch cast iron skillet or a deep 9-inch pie pan to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Make the Batter: In a bowl, whip the eggs and light brown sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smooth. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, salt, whole milk, and vanilla extract, mixing well to create a smooth batter.
- Assemble the Clafoutis: Carefully pour the batter into the prepared skillet. Gently place the blueberries and sliced peaches evenly on top of the batter without stirring them in.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, indicating the clafoutis is set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the clafoutis to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent touch.
Notes
- Room temperature eggs help create a smooth, fluffy batter.
- Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- You can substitute peaches with other stone fruits like nectarines or cherries.
- Make sure not to stir the fruit into the batter to achieve the traditional clafoutis texture.
- Serve warm or at room temperature for the best taste experience.
- Cast iron skillet ensures even heat distribution but a deep pie pan works well as an alternative.
