Peach Clafoutis
Peach Clafoutis is a baked French dessert featuring fresh peach halves covered in a smooth batter of eggs, sugar, milk, all-purpose and almond flours, and flavored with vanilla and salt. The clafoutis puffs and sets with a lightly golden crust and is garnished with almond slivers and powdered sugar. It offers a tender, custard-like texture with the sweetness of peaches.
Ingredients
- 6 peaches halved and pit removed
- 3 egg large
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk whole
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup almond flour fine
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 2 tablespoons almond slivered
- butter to grease the pan, unsalted
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉ and position your rack in the middle of the range.
- Using your unsalted butter, generously coat your 10-inch cast iron or gratin dish with the butter and set aside.
- Whisk the eggs with the sugar in a medium bowl of your KitchenAid stand mixer.Add the milk, and slowly add flour, vanilla, and salt. Whisk to combine well, and no lumps form in the batter.
- Arrange the peach halves in a single layer in the pan or gratin dish.
- Pour the batter evenly around the peaches, then sprinkle with the almond slivers.
- Bake the clafoutis until it puffs up and is lightly golden brown around the edges. It takes around 30 to 35 minutes.
- Place the skillet on a wire rack and let it cool off for about 10 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Dust powdered sugar over the peaches and serve.
Notes
- Fruit variations include apricots, nectarines, plums, or berries to customize the clafoutis.
- Store leftovers in a sealed glass container once fully cooled; consume within two days.
- Reheat or serve at room temperature for best texture.
- Optionally add a splash of bourbon to the batter or serve with vanilla ice cream.
- Brown sugar may replace granulated sugar for a deeper sweetness.
- Ensure peach slices are evenly sized to bake uniformly.
