RASPBERRY CLAFOUTIS RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch ceramic baking dish, or a 2-quart gratin dish, or a 9-inch cake pan.
• In a medium bowl, toss the raspberries with 1 tbsp sugar. Let them sit while you prepare the remaining ingredients
• In a food processor or blender, combine the remaining ½ cup sugar with the lavender; process until the lavender is mostly ground, about 2 minutes. Then pour the milk, crème fraiche, eggs, and salt, and process to combine. Add the flour and pulse just to combine.

• Transfer the baking dish to a wire rack and let the cake cook for at least 15 minutes before serving. Then dust it with confectioners' sugar, slice it, and serve it with a dollop of whipped crème fraiche if you like (I used Greek yogurt to serve along).

ALMOND-RASPBERRY CLAFOUTIS WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Puree frozen raspberries with their syrup in processor until smooth. (Raspberry sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely grind almonds in processor. Transfer almonds to large bowl. Add sugar, egg whites, flour, orange juice and orange peel and whisk to blend well.
• Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat; cook until butter browns, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes. Whisk hot browned butter into almond batter until well blended. Divide batter equally among six 1 1/4-cup custard cups (batter will fill cups only halfway). Drop 8 raspberries into batter in each cup. Bake clafoutis until golden brown and set in center, about 40 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Serve warm with raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream, if desired. Garnish clafoutis with any remaining fresh raspberries and serve immediately.
