PRUNE CLAFOUTIS
PRUNE CLAFOUTIS
Recipe
SERVES 8
FOR THE CLAFOUTIS
30g butter, melted
4 organic eggs
Zest of ½ orange
80g soft brown sugar
125ml whole milk
125ml cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp ground almonds
100g prunes
30g sliced almonds
- Preheat the oven to 170c fan bake.
- Pour the melted butter into a shallow ovenproof dish, approx. 20cm wide, making sure it coats the sides too.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk the eggs, orange zest and sugar until light and fluffy – about 3 minutes on high. You want to add some volume to the mixture, but not too much or your clafoutis will sink in the oven.
- Fold the ground almonds into the egg mixture. Finally, pour in the milk, cream, and vanilla, whisking lightly to incorporate.
- Pour the batter into the greased dish and evenly drop in the prunes. Scatter with the sliced almonds.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes until golden brown and set but still light and soft inside.
- Serve warm with cream.
- To store, cover well with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for up to a week.
