Peach Clafoutis

: a dessert consisting of a layer of fruit (such as cherries) topped with batter and baked

Whether it's a brunch or a light dessert this Clafoutis (French dessert) served warm is delicious.

Having a similar texture to a pancake it's light and fluffy and almost custard like for that touch of sweet but not too sweet taste.

You can use any berry of choice or even peaches or cherries.

• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups sliced or chopped peaches

sprinkle of cinnamon before baking

Note:  powdered sugar on top after baking adds a nice touch.

Short cut :  I used my blender for this recipe so as to make sure it was blended well.  It was a good choice.  After adding all ingredients(add your flour slowly at the very end) and blend for a quick minute.

Pour half of the batter(it's thin) into a buttered baking dish or pie pan.  Place the peaches on top of that batter and slowly pour the remainder of batter over the peaches. I sprinkled a little cinnamon on top before baking.

The below directions and recipe as per original recipe. 

 Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and butter until the sugar is dissolved. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Pour the batter into a buttered cast iron skillet or baking dish.  Do not use a dark cake pan as it will brown too quickly.

1.  Bake until the clafoutis is beautifully puffed and golden, approximately 35–40 minutes. Allow to cool approximately 10 minutes and either cut in slices or spoon into small serving dishes and serve. 

Enjoy!
