Ingredients
For the Clafoutis Batter
- 10g butter (for greasing)
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 300ml milk
- ½ cup plain flour
For the Fruit and Topping
- 2 cups frozen raspberries
- 1 tbsp icing sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 180°C with fan bake setting. Generously grease a shallow baking dish with butter to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, ½ cup caster sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla essence until well combined. Gradually add 300ml milk while whisking to integrate smoothly. Sift in ½ cup plain flour and gently mix until the batter is lump-free and smooth.
- Assemble the Clafoutis: Place half of the frozen raspberries evenly across the base of the greased baking dish. Pour the prepared batter over the raspberries. Scatter the remaining raspberries on top to evenly distribute the fruit throughout the custard.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes or until the clafoutis turns golden brown on top. The custard should be just set with a slight jiggle in the center, indicating it is perfectly cooked without being dry.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the clafoutis to rest for at least 10 minutes after baking, which helps it set further. Dust the top with 1 tbsp icing sugar before serving. Enjoy warm with optional accompaniments like whipped cream, thick Greek yogurt, or ice cream.
Notes
- Using frozen raspberries helps maintain the fruit's shape and juiciness during baking.
- Ensure the batter is lump-free for a smooth custard texture.
- Do not overbake; the center should retain a slight jiggle for optimal creaminess.
- Serving warm enhances the dessert's flavor and texture.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with whipped cream, Greek yogurt, or vanilla ice cream for added richness.
