Description
A delightful clafoutis made with fresh pears, perfect for dessert or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium pear (peeled, cored and thinly sliced)
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (plus ½ teaspoon more for topping)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- powdered sugar, optional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel and slice the pear and arrange the slices in a buttered 5×5-inch baking dish or 6 cast iron skillet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until fully blended. Add the sugar, flour, milk, heavy cream, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter evenly over the sliced pear. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of sugar over the top.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the clafoutis is puffed, lightly golden, and set in the center. The center should jiggle slightly but should not look wet.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. It is normal for the clafoutis to deflate slightly as it cools. Dust lightly with powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
- The clafoutis can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Feel free to use other fruits like cherries or berries for variation.
