Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 pound fruit -- *see directions
---Batter---
1 cup milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar -- (2 ounces)
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sifted all purpose flour -- (2 1/2 ounces)
Fruit:
3/4 lb of fruit and this can be... stoned cherries, stoned plums cut
in half, peeled and cored pears, apples peeled and thinly sliced, any
berry fruit. You may wish to lightly pre poach fruits like pears,
apples, quinces or even plums, but this is a matter of taste. In any
case try slow oven roasting the fruit.. place on a baking slide,
sprinkle with a little sugar and roast in the oven for 3 hours at low
heat.
Batter:
Place the ingredients in a liquidiser jar and blend until a smooth
batter is achieved. Set aside to rest for 30 minutes.
Using a pan that can be put into the oven... an all steel pan is good
but for preference should have rounded sides as opposed to flat. Add a
small pat of butter and let melt over heat, pour in 1/4 inch layer of
the batter and place over a moderate flame on the stove top until a
film of batter has set on the bottom of the pan, now put in the fruit
topped with a little sugar to your taste, (approx. 2 oz) top that with
the rest of the batter and place the dish into preheated 350F oven for
about 60 minutes or until the Clafouti is puffed and golden brown.
The Clafouti should be served either hot or warm with ice cream or
fresh cream. Do not try and remove it from the pan, but serve from the
pan at the table. If desired, you can use an oven proof pyrex type
dish for more attractive presentation. Dust the top with icing sugar.
The Clafouti will fall a little as it cools.
