6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter for greasing
- 1 6-ounce container fresh blackberries (or more, to taste)
- ⅞ cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 7 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or more to taste
Instructions
Prepare the oven and dish
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter, ensuring the base and sides are evenly coated to prevent sticking.
Arrange the fruit
- Place the fresh blackberries in the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly across the base.
Make the batter
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until combined. Add the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and free of large lumps.
Assemble the clafoutis
- Pour the batter gently over the blackberries, allowing it to distribute evenly around the fruit.
Bake the dessert
- Place the dish on the middle oven rack. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the custard begins to set.
Finish with topping
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly across the surface. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly caramelized.
Cool and serve
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
