Blueberry Clafouti

I recently found a really convenient place to get local, cage free eggs from a lady who loves her chickens. She even crochets blankets and curtains for their night coop. Seriously. Don’t these eggs looked loved?

Well, I already had a dozen eggs from the store, but had to buy these pretty eggs too, so I ended up with an abundance of eggs. Enter Clafouti.

Have you ever heard of Clafouti? I hadn’t. Clafouti is a baked French dessert made with berries and it’s kind of similar to flan. I was watching Fit TV’s A Lyon in the Kitchen earlier this week, and Nathon Lyon made blueberry clafouti. And it looked tasty.

Wouldn’t you like to try it?

I thought so. I used Nathan Lyon’s recipe, but instead of whole milk, used 2%. And his recipe doesn’t tell you what temperature to bake it at. I baked it at 350 degrees and it turned out fine.

Blueberry Clafouti

Ingredients:
2 cups, fresh or frozen blueberries, if frozen – thawed
4 whole eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1  teaspoon ground cinnamon
1  teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1  teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup milk
powdered sugar, for dusting, optional
Non-stick spray

Instructions:
1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray the inside of 8 ramekins with non-stick spray and add just enough blueberries to cover the bottom. Set aside.

2) Using a hand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar on the highest speed until doubled in size and light yellow, about 2 minutes.

3) Reduce the speed to medium-low then gradually add the salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract, baking powder, and flour, scraping down the sides.

4) Add the milk and mix slowly until just incorporated.

5) Pour the mixture over the blue berries.  DSC_0896 6) Transfer to the oven and bake for about 40 minutes (rotating the pan halfway through baking) until golden brown on top and the Clafouti is set.  Let cool about 5 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

They come out looking like a soufflé and will sink a little, so don’t be alarmed. These are best served warm. Enjoy!

Have you ever heard of Clafouti before or am I just way out of the foodie loop?

    1. Yes I want to try it!! That looks like a perfect cross between a muffin and cake batter. I want, I want.

    2. Wow, those eggs sound amazing…and loved!

      I have made clafouti before actually, but only once with other berries for a thanksgiving dessert. It was delicious but it has been years since and have yet to recreate. Looks great lady!

    3. One of my favorite things to get from my favorite patisserie in Paris was his cherry clafoutis…. I’d even have it some mornings instead of a croissant… sh! The owner used to make them multiple times a day so it’d always be fresh and they’d just cut a piece off from a huge tray.

      mmm…AMAZING!

    4. I had never heard of this, either! But I am TOTALLY out of the foodie loop so I am not a good judge of such things 🙂 But it looks delicious and I think I could actually make it! Must try sometime!

    5. Aren’t fresh farm eggs just outstanding?

      I don’t think I’ve ever had Clafouti but it kind of reminds me of a cobbler and looks fantastic! I love in individual servings! THanks for the recipe! 🙂 Ive

    6. Calafo who? I, foodie by nature of watching Food Network, have never heard of such yumminess. Recipes involving ramekins are my favorite. Those look like the perfect breakfast…or dessert!

    7. I’ve seen clafouti, but never knew what it was called! Wow–those eggs do look loved–I raise chickens and love them too, but I don’t know I’d go as far as to make them blankets, thats funny!

    8. I really like Clafouti! I make mine with mixed berries and in one single pan. I love the texture of it. It’s also good warm or cold.

      • The recipe actually said you could make it a pan or in ramekins. I did ramekins hoping I’d eat less. It didn’t work. 😉

    9. Umm that looks AMAZING!! I love your pictures! And I’ve never heard of it either? But Nathan is hot, so I listen to whatever he says lol I definitely need to make this for a girls brunch sometime! (:

    10. This looks SO good! I’m really impressed. I’ve heard of it before, it definitely looks like a souffle too.

      I absolutely LOVE farm fresh eggs–that lady sounds adorable. Anyone who makes blankets for their chickens is producing some mighty fine eggs 🙂

    11. I’m a vegan, but I do believe there are ethical ways of getting dairy and eggs. Having crocheted blankets sounds pretty awesome to me, and those eggs look amazing – like eggs should!

    12. Ohh, I’ve never heard of clafouti before, but I’d love to try it (and love to try to make it). It seems easier than I’d have thought it would be!

    13. Okay lady, where did you get these eggs from? (Yes I’m still reading back issues of your blog…do you feel loved or stalked?) Since this post is over a year old, I don’t even know if you’re still using the same please, but if so – spill! (your secert, not the eggs. That’d be messy.)

      • i feel so loved. 🙂

        I got them from the little garden shop that is on Yadkinville Rd right next to the Post office. From Reynolda, drive up Yadkinville, past Shattalon, past the Food Lion. It is a little cottage on the right side of the road. I think she is even selling produce now. I haven’t been in a while!
