Blueberry Clafoutis (Julia Child Recipe)
Description
This Blueberry Clafoutis combines milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, and flour into a smooth batter that is poured in stages over fresh blueberries in a greased baking dish. A partial baking step sets a thin layer of the batter before the berries and remaining batter are added for a full bake lasting about 50 minutes. The result is a lightly puffed, golden-topped custard with the blueberries providing bursts of juiciness.
The dish is traditionally served warm and can be enjoyed as a fruity dessert or a sweet breakfast option. Its moderate sweetness and creamy texture complement the tartness of the blueberries.
To assess doneness, the clafoutis should be puffed and golden with a clean toothpick insertion. Leftovers keep up to two days in the refrigerator when covered tightly to preserve moisture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup milk whole
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 3 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven 350 F.
- In a bowl of a standing mixer, combine milk, ⅓ cup of sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt and flour. Blend until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
- Lightly grease 8*8 baking dish with butter and pour a ¼ inch layer of the batter. Place it in the oven and let the batter set for about 5 minutes until a film of batter forms on top of it.
- Remove from the oven, spread blueberries and then the remaining sugar on top of the batter.
- Pour on the remaining batter and smooth with the back of a wooden spoon.
- Bake for 50 minutes.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- The clafoutis is done when puffed, golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, usually after 50 minutes.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to two days, covering with plastic wrap or an airtight container to maintain freshness.
