Fresh Fig Clafoutis
A "clafoutis" is a delicious French baked custard. It's surprisingly easy to assemble, and it bakes in the oven to a puffy, bumpy, bubbly, custardy, delightful dish. All you need is a medium sized mixing bowl and a whisk to mix the custard and a tart or pie dish for baking.
Ingredients
- 5 figs sliced into thin rounds
- 3 Tablespoons butter melted
- 4 eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- powdered sugar for garnish
- lemon juice or lemon slice for garnish
- Mascarpone cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Place the butter in the baking dish and warm the butter in the oven as the oven is preheating. Heat the dish just until the butter melts. Take dish out of oven and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk four eggs. While continuing to mix add the sugar, milk, cream, salt, vanilla extract and all purpose flour. Whisk to combine.
- Arrange 2/3 of the sliced figs in the bottom of the baking dish, in the melted butter.
- Pour the custard mixture over the butter and the figs.
- Arrange the remaining figs on top of the poured custard.
