Blackberry Ginger Clafouti Recipes

BLACKBERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter.
• Add blackberries to the prepared baking dish.
• Stir milk and eggs together in a bowl. Whisk in flour, sugar, and salt and mix until batter is smooth. Pour batter over blackberries.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until eggs start to set, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle brown sugar on top and bake until golden brown, about 20 more minutes.

CLAFOUTI

Steps:

• Heat milk and cream with vanilla bean and cinnamon sticks. Scald and let cool, then strain out vanilla bean and cinnamon sticks. Into strained mixture, whisk in flour, sugar, eggs and lemon zest and transfer mixture to a pitcher or a pour spout.
• Assemble berries in pre-baked, room-temperature tart shell. Raspberries should be top down (with opening down). Tightly packed but only one layer of fruit.
• Pour just enough batter over berries to almost come up even with fruit. Be careful not to put too much, but enough to fill in all the spaces and come 5/6ths of the way up the berries.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees until set and slightly brown on top.

BLUEBERRY-GINGER CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Place a rack at the upper level and a second in the middle of the oven. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease a 9-inch ceramic or glass baking dish or deep-dish pie plate (at least 1 1/2 quart capacity) well with butter.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, 1 cup sugar, flour, zest, cardamom and salt until smooth and combined, the sugar is dissolved, and there are no visible flecks of flour.
• Pour enough batter into the greased baking dish to cover the base by about 1/2 inch. Place the baking dish on the top rack of the oven and cook until the batter is just about set - it should jiggle slightly in the center - about 15 to 17 minutes.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven. Arrange the blueberries and the ginger on top in a single layer. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the fruit. Pour the remaining batter over the fruit, return the dish to the oven, and bake on the middle rack until the batter is completely cooked, about 60 to 65 minutes. The edges should be slightly firm and golden brown, and the center slightly jiggly. A knife inserted in the middle should come out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Dust the top of the clafoutis with confectioners' sugar to taste and serve warm or at room temperature.
