Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed fresh Ontario berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or sliced strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or cast-iron skillet with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Spread the fresh Ontario berries evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract (and almond extract if using) to the dry mixture, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth batter.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, continuing to whisk until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the batter over the berries in the prepared dish, ensuring the berries are evenly distributed.
Bake the clafouti in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center (a toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean).
Remove from the oven and allow the clafouti to cool slightly. It will deflate slightly as it cools.
Dust the top generously with powdered sugar before serving warm or at room temperature.
Serve on its own or paired with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
