Directions:Pre-heat the oven to 350º F.
1. Place the milk, 1/3 cup sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt and flour in a blender, in the order listed and blend at top speed for 1 minute.
2. Pour a 1/4 inch layer of the batter into a 7 to 8 cup lightly buttered fireproof baking dish or skillet that is about 1 1/2 inches deep.
3. Set the baking dish or skillet over moderate heat for a minute or two, until the batter has set. Remove from heat. Spread the berries over the batter and sprinkle on the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, then pour the rest of the batter on top, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon or spatula.
4. Place the baking dish or skillet in the middle portion of he pre-heated oven and bake for about an hour. The clafouti is done when it has puffed and browned, and needle or knife plunged into its center comes out clean. Sprinkle the top of the clafouti with powdered sugar, just before bringing it to the table.
A dollop of fresh whip cream may also be served on top of each slice. The clafouti need not be served hot, but it should still be warm. It will sink down slightly, as it cools. |
