CHEF ILONA: BLUEBERRY CLAFOUTIS
Instead of the usual French Toast or pancake, try something different while classic for brunch or breakfast; clafoutis. This French dish might sound unreachably fancy, but a clafoutis doesn't require any special ingredients—you probably have all of them in your kitchen.
Clafoutis (pronounced klah-foo-tee) is a classic French dessert that originates from the Limousin region of France and dates back many centuries.
Its name comes from the Occitan dialect word "claufoti," which means "to fill." The dish was originally created as a simple, rustic, and frugal dessert. Its simplicity makes it perfect for a hurried brunch by baking fresh fruit, typically cherries, in it’s iconic sweet, pancake-like batter. The result is a custardy, flan-like texture with a slight crispy edge.
From a technical and culinary perspective, there are several important aspects to consider when making a clafoutis:
Fruit Selection: Choose fresh, ripe fruit for your clafoutis. Traditionally, cherries are used, but you can opt for other fruits like cherries, mango, roasted apples or pears, or even peaches.
Batter Consistency: The batter should be smooth and slightly thick but still pourable. Whisking the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gradually helps to achieve this. The right batter consistency is crucial for the custardy texture of the clafoutis.
Baking Dish: Use a buttered baking dish or tart pan to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the clafoutis.
A blueberry clafoutis is a delightful variation of the classic French dessert and makes use of berries natural to the Maritime area.
The blueberries will release their juices as they bake, creating a delicious contrast between the sweet and slightly tart berries and the custardy clafoutis. Blueberry clafoutis is a perfect dessert for showcasing the vibrant flavor of fresh blueberries.
Julia Child, who famously brought French Cuisine into the homes of North America was deeply fond of clafouti. To elevate the clafouti experience with your guests, you would be remiss if you didn’t share her famous quote related to the dish: "A party without cake is just a meeting. A meeting without clafoutis is just a meeting."
Blueberry Clafouti
Chef Ilona Daniel
Serves 4
2 cups fresh blueberries (or fruit of your preference)
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup sugar
¼ tsp salt
1 cup whipping cream
3 large eggs
2 Tbsp butter, melted, plus more for greasing dish
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
Pinch of nutmeg
1 Tbsp icing sugar
Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet (which is my preference). Sprinkle blueberries evenly over bottom.
Whisk together flour, nutmeg, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Whisk in cream, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until completely smooth; for best results, use a stick/immersion blender. Let batter stand 5 minutes. Slowly pour batter evenly over blueberries.
Bake in preheated oven until clafoutis is golden brown and set in center, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with icing sugar just before serving.
