APPLE OR PEAR CLAFOUTI (AN EASY FRENCH DESSERT)



Apple or Pear Clafouti (An Easy French Dessert) image

I'd never heard of this dessert until I ate it in a small hotel at the foot of the French Pyrenees. I came back home and was able to find this recipe on the internet-- I believe a French cuisine website, but the name escapes me. Quick, easy, and yummy, too. Preparation time includes resting time.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 cup whipping cream
½ cup flour
2 pears - peeled, cored, and chopped
2 tablespoons coarse sugar, such as turbinado

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease six 3/4-cup souffle dishes or six 6-ounce custard cups.
  • Beat together eggs, white sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and frothy, about 5 minutes. Add whipping cream, then flour; beat until mixture is smooth.
  • Divide half of batter among prepared dishes, then spread two-thirds of pears over batter. Pour in remaining batter and top with remaining pears.
  • Bake 30 minutes, then rotate pan and sprinkle each clafouti with 1 teaspoon coarse sugar. Continue baking until puffy and lightly browned and a knife inserted off-center comes out clean, about 10 minutes more. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. (Clafoutis will fall as they cool.)
