Clafoutis is a delicious French baked dessert that is a cross between a cake and custard. This desert is so delicious and simple to make, that I decided to make it using one of my favorite fruits, strawberries. It turned out great and I will definately be making it again.
It makes a wonderful breakfast too, warm or cold.
Buen provecho!
Ingredients
(4-6 servings)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 1/2 cups strawberries
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
Directions
- Make the batter: Sift the flour, sugar, and salt into a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and heavy cream until well blended. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an oval oven-proof dish or individual dishes, with the butter. Sprinkle the bottom and sides with sugar.
- Place the strawberries in the oven-proof dish. Pour the batter over the strawberries and place in the oven.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the custard is firm. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the clafoutis warm with a scoop of ice cream.

Erica…I was wondering what had happend that you had not posted. Got a bit concerned. I see all is well.
I don’t like cooking strawberries because they don’t usually look pretty. This is a mouth watering desert…Have a great weekend…..

I don’t usually go for clafouti, finding it too eggy, but this one with the strawberries looks irresistible! Totally beautiful puffy goodness on a plate, r in this case in a little ramekin.
