Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (225g) blackberries, fresh or thawed and drained if frozen
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- Unsalted butter for greasing the dish
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9-inch round or oval baking dish with butter.
- If using fresh blackberries, rinse and pat them dry. If using frozen blackberries, thaw and drain thoroughly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk 3 large eggs until frothy. Add 1/2 cup (100g) sugar and whisk until combined.
- Stir in 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually sift in 1/2 cup (60g) flour, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly runny.
- Arrange the blackberries evenly in the greased baking dish. Pour the batter gently over the berries, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but slightly jiggly.
- Let the clafoutis cool for 10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar and serving warm.
Notes
For best results, scatter the blackberries evenly in the dish to ensure every slice has fruit. If your oven browns quickly, cover the dish loosely with foil halfway through baking. Let the clafoutis cool slightly before serving for the best texture.
