Easy Cherry And Peach Clafoutis Recipes

CHERRY CLAFOUTI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 12-inch round baking dish or pie plate.
• Combine the egg yolks and 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar in a large bowl. Using a handheld mixer, beat on medium-high speed until ribbons form when you lift the beater just slightly out of the batter, about 8 minutes. Add the heavy cream, flour and vanilla extract. Reduce the speed to low and beat until thoroughly blended, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Put the prepared baking dish on a baking sheet and slide into the oven to preheat for 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the egg whites and salt in a small bowl for about 30 seconds. Add to the batter and beat with the mixer on low speed until just incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Combine the cherries, lemon zest and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl and stir until the cherries are thoroughly coated. If using frozen cherries, mix in 1 tablespoon of flour.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven, pour the cherry mixture into the baking dish and top with the batter. Bake until set in the middle, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm with confectioners' sugar and a small dollop of whipped cream.

PEAR CLAFOUTI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Butter a 10 x 3 x 1 1/2-inch round baking dish and sprinkle the bottom and sides with 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar.
• Beat the eggs and the 1/3 cup of granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. On low speed, mix in the flour, cream, vanilla extract, lemon zest, salt, and pear brandy. Set aside for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel, quarter, core, and slice the pears. Arrange the slices in a single layer, slightly fanned out, in the baking dish. Pour the batter over the pears and bake until the top is golden brown and the custard is firm, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with confectioners' sugar, and creme fraiche.

CHERRY PEACH PANTRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet or large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper and lay the round of pie crust on top.
• Toss the peaches and cherries with the cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon and 1/3 cup sugar in a bowl until well combined. Mound the fruit mixture in the center of the dough round and spread slightly, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Fold the edges over the fruit, pleating as necessary. Whisk the egg and mix with a tablespoon of water. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash on the exposed crust. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon sugar over the top of the fruit. Bake until the crust is golden brown all over and the fruit juices are thick and bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature.

• Spread berries over the batter and sprinkle on the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Pour on the rest of the batter and smooth with the back of a spoon. Place in the center of the oven and bake about 50 minutes, until top is puffed and browned and a tester plunged into its center comes out clean.
