Blueberry Clafouti

Blueberries are baked into this adaptation of the traditional French dessert made with fresh cherries called 'clafoutis.' When other kinds of fruit are used, the dessert is called a 'flognarde.' By either name, the light, custard-like batter, similar to pancakes, is divine with fresh fruit.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.

Step 2

Arrange the blueberries over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Whisk together the eggs and egg yolk until light and fluffy. Stir in the sugar, and continue whisking until mixture thickens. Whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, sifted flour, and salt, one at a time, until mixture is light and airy. Pour the mixture over the berries to cover evenly.
