BLACKBERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Grease an 8 inch square casserole (or pie plate) and preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Then set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, lemon zest and vanilla.
• Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients, beating until the lumps are gone.
• Pour mixture into prepared pan and then scatter blackberries over the top.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes or until just set.

BERRY CLAFOUTI WITH CREME FRAICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together the eggs and sugar until frothy. Add vanilla specks, flour, and salt. Mix until incorporated. Fold in the milk and 1/2 the creme fraiche.
• Spray a 10-inch Teflon pan with vegetable spray. Pour 1/3 of the batter into the pan. Bake in the oven for 3 minutes, just until the batter sets. Remove pan from oven and spread the mixed berries on as the next layer. Pour remaining batter over the berries. Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for 12 to 16 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and the middle rises. Take out and let cool for 20 minutes.
• Mix the remaining 1/3 cup of creme fraiche with the confectioners' sugar. Cut the clafouti into 4 to 6 wedges, dust with the extra confectioners' sugar and serve with the remaining berries and sweetened creme fraiche.

BLUEBERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Grind the almonds to a very fine powder in a small food processor then blend in the flour and salt. Add the sugar, whole eggs, yolks and cream. Whizz until creamy smooth. (If you're making ahead, tip the batter into a jug at this point and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.)
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Butter eight 10cm gratin dishes. Scatter the blueberries in the bottom.
• Give the batter a good stir, pour into the dishes and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until risen and lightly firm. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm.

JULIA CHILD'S BERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a medium-size flameproof baking dish at least 1 1/2 inches deep.
• Place the milk, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt and flour in a blender. Blend at top speed until smooth and frothy, about 1 minute.
• Pour a 1/4-inch layer of batter in the baking dish. Turn on a stove burner to low and set dish on top for a minute or two, until a film of batter has set in the bottom of the dish. Remove from heat.
• Spread berries over the batter and sprinkle on the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Pour on the rest of the batter and smooth with the back of a spoon. Place in the center of the oven and bake about 50 minutes, until top is puffed and browned and a tester plunged into its center comes out clean.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving. (Clafoutis need not be served hot, but should still be warm. It will sink slightly as it cools.)

BLUEBERRY-GINGER CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Place a rack at the upper level and a second in the middle of the oven. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease a 9-inch ceramic or glass baking dish or deep-dish pie plate (at least 1 1/2 quart capacity) well with butter.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, 1 cup sugar, flour, zest, cardamom and salt until smooth and combined, the sugar is dissolved, and there are no visible flecks of flour.
• Pour enough batter into the greased baking dish to cover the base by about 1/2 inch. Place the baking dish on the top rack of the oven and cook until the batter is just about set - it should jiggle slightly in the center - about 15 to 17 minutes.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven. Arrange the blueberries and the ginger on top in a single layer. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the fruit. Pour the remaining batter over the fruit, return the dish to the oven, and bake on the middle rack until the batter is completely cooked, about 60 to 65 minutes. The edges should be slightly firm and golden brown, and the center slightly jiggly. A knife inserted in the middle should come out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Dust the top of the clafoutis with confectioners' sugar to taste and serve warm or at room temperature.
