Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon table salt
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange liqueur (or brandy)
2 cups fresh blackberries, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons salted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 10-inch ceramic flan dish, quiche pan, or a large pie plate to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sifted flour, sugar, and salt.
Prepare the Custard Base: In a separate bowl, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, and orange liqueur until smooth.
Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is silky and lump-free.
Assemble the Dish: Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Distribute the blackberries evenly over the top and scatter the butter pieces across the surface.
Bake to Perfection: Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the clafoutis is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Serve and Enjoy: Let it cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, with a touch of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Notes
For best texture, use room temperature eggs and dairy.
Swap blackberries for blueberries, plums, or cherries as desired.
Reheat in a 300°F oven for 10–15 minutes; avoid the microwave.
Serve with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
