Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh strawberries
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters Milk
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing)
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into halves or quarters if they are large.
Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) baking dish or pie pan with butter, ensuring an even coat.
Spread the prepared strawberries evenly across the bottom of the greased dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the eggs to the dry mixture one at a time, whisking after each addition, until a smooth batter forms.
Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream while continuing to whisk to avoid lumps.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Carefully pour the batter over the strawberries in the baking dish, making sure all the fruit is covered.
Place the dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the clafouti is golden brown and the center is set (it should slightly jiggle when moved).
Remove the clafouti from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Dust the clafouti with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
