French Clafoutis with Prunes Recipe

French · Dessert · 55 min total

A classic French dessert featuring prunes baked in a custard-like batter. This rustic, elegant dish is perfect for showcasing seasonal fruit and is surprisingly simple to make.

Ingredients

• 12 pitted prunes
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for greasing
• 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9-inch pie dish or shallow baking dish.
2. Arrange the prunes evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and granulated sugar until light and frothy.
4. Add milk, flour, vanilla extract, and salt; whisk until smooth and well combined. The batter will be thin.
5. Pour the batter over the prunes in the dish.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the clafoutis is puffed, golden brown, and set in the center (a knife inserted near the center should come out clean).
7. Let cool for at least 10 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• For a twist, substitute prunes with cherries or plums.
• Clafoutis is best served the same day, but leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently.
• If using fresh prunes, halve and pit them before arranging in the dish.
