Ingredients
For the clafoutis:
- 1/2
stick butter
- 6
eggs
- 2/3 c
raw sugar
- 2 c
whole milk
- 1/2 c
half and half
- 3 c
fresh blueberries
- 1
dash ground cardamom
- 2 tsp
vanilla extract
- 1
packet of True Orange
- 1/4 tsp
sea salt
For the topping (optional):
- 8 oz
sour cream
- 2
packets of True Lemon or True Orange (or one of each)
- 1/2 c
of powdered sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and butter a large cast iron skillet.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, except for half of the sugar and the berries.
- Put skillet on the stove over medium-low heat, and warm to melt the butter. Pour in half of the egg mixture, and leave for a few minutes until it's just beginning to set.
- Meanwhile, gently mix the berries with the remaining sugar in a small bowl. Add to the skillet carefully, letting them "float" on the top. Spread evenly across.
- Place entire skillet in the oven, and let cook for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare topping by mixing together the sour cream, True Lemon and/or True Orange, and 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar. Reserve the remaining 1/4 cup for dusting.
- Remove clafoutis from oven, making sure that the middle is firm but not rubbery.
- Let cool, and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Slice into pie wedges, and serve with a side of the sour cream topping!
Recipe Notes
Don't have a cast iron skillet? That's okay! Just butter a round baking or pie dish, and bake in the oven. Remember to partially bake the filling (about 5-10 minutes), then remove to add the berries so that they will "float" and not sink to the bottom.
