BERRY CLAFOUTIS

The main reason I wanted to make this baked French dessert was that how

it sounded-Clafoutis. Doesn't sound very French and 

sophisticated and refined? Plus as you can judge from the name, the

berry clafoutis if filled with berries and it is different from your usual berry dessert 

because of its flan-like texture. Whether you are living in snow or a down pour of rain like me...

This Berry Clafoutis brings a bit of Spring in the middle of winter.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine together the 

flour, baking powder, salt and powdered sugar.

In another bowl crack 3 eggs.

Pour in half and half.

Add in the vanilla

Using the electric mixer combined until very smooth.

Make sure this step is done properly so that in the end your 

dessert does not come out smelling like eggs.

Combined dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

Using your mixer again until a smooth batter forms. The batter will

be very liquid at this time.

Grease the bottom of a 9x9 inch pan and then dust all the 

surfaces of the pan with granulated sugar.

Fill the pan with berries.

Pour the batter over the berries. Bake 30- 35 minutes or until

puffed up, golden around the edges and set in the middle.

Do not open door until the end of baking or your

 Clafoutis may collapse. (Been There Done That) ;)

Don't over cook or "rubbery"

Yaaa Perfection! After 30-35 minutes of (NO LONGER) baking, the Clafoutis should

look puffed up, golden around the edges and set in the middles.

Dusting of powdered sugar. Serve it warm. It's good room temp

and maybe even a little cream over the top.

This Berry Clafoutis is Absolutely Wonderful. It's "French"

and not overly sweet. You'll love it too.
