French Pear Clafoutis Clafoutis Aux Poires Recipes

CLAFOUTIS AUX POIRES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the seeds from the vanilla bean and the 2 teaspoons of sugar in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Butter four 10-by-1 1/2-inch baking dishes and dust each of them with the vanilla sugar. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, and then on low speed add the 2/3 cup sugar, the flour, salt, heavy cream, milk, grated anise and pear brandy. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth, and then let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel, quarter, core and slice the pears and place the slices in a single layer on the bottom of each baking dish. Pour the batter over the top. Bake until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with lime zest and serve warm.

FRENCH PEAR CLAFOUTIS (CLAFOUTIS AUX POIRES)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat an oven to 350 F.
• Butter a 9 x 9-inch square baking dish or a 9-inch deep-dish pie round with the softened butter.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, flour, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until it forms a smooth, thin batter.
• Spread 3/4 cup of the batter onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake it for 2 to 4 minutes. Watch the batter closely and remove it before it cooks through completely. It should just start to thicken and set when it is removed from the oven.
• Transfer the dish to a heatproof surface and arrange the pears over the hot batter. Pour the remaining batter over the pears and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Sprinkle the confectioners' sugar over the finished clafouti and serve it warm.
