I’m always searching for great new ways to use seasonal produce. Peach Clafoutis is my winner for this week. Clafoutis is a classic French dessert that usually showcases fresh cherries. Hmmm… I don’t think that the cherries will mind.
Peach Clafoutis
Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 eggs, lightly whisked
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
- 6 peaches, halved, pits removed, cut into wedges
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
To Serve:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, extra
- Confectioners’ sugar, to dust
- Combine the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl. Whisk together the egg, milk, cream and vanilla in a another large bowl.
- Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture. Gradually add the egg mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes to rest.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 2.5 qt ceramic baking dish to lightly grease. Place peaches in baking dish.
- Add the butter to the flour mixture. Stir until well combined. Pour over the peaches. Bake for 20-25 minutes or just until set.
- Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Dust each clafoutis with confectioners’ sugar and top with a dollop of the cream to serve.
