Blueberry Ginger Clafoutis Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S BLUEBERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Generously butter a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
• Pour blueberries into prepared baking dish.
• Blend milk, sugar, flour, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt in a blender until batter is smooth. Pour batter over blueberries and gently shake to remove any air bubbles.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and center is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool until clafoutis deflates and is just warm.

BLUEBERRY-GINGER CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Place a rack at the upper level and a second in the middle of the oven. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease a 9-inch ceramic or glass baking dish or deep-dish pie plate (at least 1 1/2 quart capacity) well with butter.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, 1 cup sugar, flour, zest, cardamom and salt until smooth and combined, the sugar is dissolved, and there are no visible flecks of flour.
• Pour enough batter into the greased baking dish to cover the base by about 1/2 inch. Place the baking dish on the top rack of the oven and cook until the batter is just about set - it should jiggle slightly in the center - about 15 to 17 minutes.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven. Arrange the blueberries and the ginger on top in a single layer. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the fruit. Pour the remaining batter over the fruit, return the dish to the oven, and bake on the middle rack until the batter is completely cooked, about 60 to 65 minutes. The edges should be slightly firm and golden brown, and the center slightly jiggly. A knife inserted in the middle should come out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Dust the top of the clafoutis with confectioners' sugar to taste and serve warm or at room temperature.

• Place the milk, eggs, flour, half a cup of the sugar and the cinnamon in a blender or a food processor. Process until well mixed.
• Place the butter in a heavy nine-inch ovenproof skillet or a heatproof baking dish. Place it on the stove over low heat to melt the butter and warm the pan. Remove it from the heat.
• Spoon a little of the batter into the pan, swirling it to coat the bottom. Scatter one-and-a-third cups of the blueberries over the bottom of the pan and dust them with a tablespoon of the remaining sugar. Pour the remaining batter over them; place the pan in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, until puffed and browned.
• While the clafouti is baking, stir the yogurt and mix in the remaining blueberries. Dust the finished clafouti with the remaining sugar and serve with the yogurt on the side.
