Blueberry Clafoutis: How To Make Some, Today!!

Blueberry Clafoutis: How To Make. Super simple.

A real French classic, the batter is like a rich, sweet version of Yorkshire pudding and tastes delicious dusted generously with sifted icing sugar and topped with a scoop of just melting vanilla ice cream.

If you don’t have any double cream then use an extra 150ml (1/4 pint) milk instead.

How To Make Blueberry Clafoutis:

Serves 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30-40 minutes

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons caster sugar to line the dish

200g (7oz) Chilean blueberries

100g (4oz) plain flour

Pinch salt

75g (3oz) caster sugar

1 lemon, grated rind only

3 medium eggs

1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon vanilla essence 150ml

 (1/4 pint) milk

150 ml (1/4 pint) double cream

Sifted icing sugar to decorate

Blueberry Clafoutis Method:

Preheat the oven to 180oC/350oF/Gas Mark 4.

Grease a 1.5 litre (2 ½ pint) ovenproof dish that is 5cm (2 inches) deep with the butter, sprinkle with the sugar then add the blueberries.

Mix the flour, salt, sugar and lemon rind together in a mixing bowl.

Add the eggs, egg yolk and vanilla and whisk until smooth then gradually whisk in the milk and cream until a smooth batter.

Pour over the blueberries so that the dish is half full then bake for 30-40 minutes until the pudding is golden brown, risen around the edges and just set in the centre.

Dust generously with sifted icing sugar and serve immediately.

Cook’s Tip:

The baked batter will fall as it cools so put the pudding in the oven to bake while you eat your main course then serve up the minute it comes out of the oven.
