Berry Clafoutis With Crème Fraîche Recipes

Steps:

• Toss berries in a medium bowl with the kirsch, eau de vie or crème de cassis and 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and let sit for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, sift together all-purpose flour and almond flour.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9- or 10-inch ceramic tart pan or clafoutis dish.
• In a medium bowl, beat eggs with remaining sugar, seeds from the vanilla bean or vanilla, and salt. Place a strainer over the bowl and drain berries, allowing all of the liquid from the berries to run into the egg and sugar mixture. Whisk to combine. Arrange drained berries in the buttered baking dish.
• Beat the sifted flours into the egg mixture and whisk until smooth. Add yogurt or kefir and combine well. Pour over fruit, scraping out all of the batter with a rubber spatula.
• Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is browned and the clafoutis is firm and puffed. Press gently on the top in the middle to see if it's firm. If it isn't, return to the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter.
• Add blackberries to the prepared baking dish.
• Stir milk and eggs together in a bowl. Whisk in flour, sugar, and salt and mix until batter is smooth. Pour batter over blackberries.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until eggs start to set, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle brown sugar on top and bake until golden brown, about 20 more minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together the eggs and sugar until frothy. Add vanilla specks, flour, and salt. Mix until incorporated. Fold in the milk and 1/2 the creme fraiche.
• Spray a 10-inch Teflon pan with vegetable spray. Pour 1/3 of the batter into the pan. Bake in the oven for 3 minutes, just until the batter sets. Remove pan from oven and spread the mixed berries on as the next layer. Pour remaining batter over the berries. Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for 12 to 16 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and the middle rises. Take out and let cool for 20 minutes.
• Mix the remaining 1/3 cup of creme fraiche with the confectioners' sugar. Cut the clafouti into 4 to 6 wedges, dust with the extra confectioners' sugar and serve with the remaining berries and sweetened creme fraiche.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a medium-size flameproof baking dish at least 1 1/2 inches deep.
• Place the milk, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt and flour in a blender. Blend at top speed until smooth and frothy, about 1 minute.
• Pour a 1/4-inch layer of batter in the baking dish. Turn on a stove burner to low and set dish on top for a minute or two, until a film of batter has set in the bottom of the dish. Remove from heat.
• Spread berries over the batter and sprinkle on the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Pour on the rest of the batter and smooth with the back of a spoon. Place in the center of the oven and bake about 50 minutes, until top is puffed and browned and a tester plunged into its center comes out clean.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving. (Clafoutis need not be served hot, but should still be warm. It will sink slightly as it cools.)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet or pie pan.
• Whisk together eggs and sugar until thick and frothy. Add vanilla seeds (save bean for another use), flour and salt. Mix half the crème fraîche with the milk, and whisk into batter. Pour one-third of the batter into prepared pan, place in oven and bake 5 minutes, until just set. Spread berries over top, and pour in rest of batter. Bake about 25 minutes, until lightly browned and batter is set on top. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes.
• Loosen clafoutis around edges, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with remaining crème fraîche.
