PLUM AND BLACKBERRY CLAFOUTIS
 
 
Ingredients
  • 60g unsalted butter, melted (2 oz), plus more for greasing
  • 450g ripe plums, halved and pitted (1 pound)
  • 125g punnet blackberries (1 cup)
  • 3 eggs
  • 70g plain flour, sifted (1/2 cup)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt
  • 100g caster (superfine) sugar (1/2 cup)
  • 330ml milk (1⅓ cups)
  • 30g caster (superfine) sugar (2 tbsp), for sprinkling
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) and use the extra butter to grease a 2 litre (2 quart) shallow baking dish.
  2. Arrange the plums, cut-side up, over the base of the dish, and scatter the berries on top.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs well. Whisk in the flour, butter and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Then whisk in 100g sugar, and finally the milk.
  5. Pour the clafoutis mixture over the fruit in the baking dish and place on a flat baking tray. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  6. Carefully pull the rack out from the oven halfway, then sprinkle the extra 30g sugar evenly over the top of the clafoutis. Carefully push the rack back in, then bake for a further 30 minutes.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before enjoying. Serves 8.
  8. Happy baking!
