Fruit Clafoutis



This is an easy, versitile, custardy 'rustic fruit dessert'. It is traditionally made with fresh cherries, usually sour. Any fresh fruit, especially stone fruits and berries work well. Mine is a little dark, but it was just fine. 

Ingredients

3 -6 eggs (yes, whatever...I used 6 in this one.  Most recipes call for 3 or so.)
1 1/2 cup milk/cream of choice
6 tablespoons of sugar, or sweetener of choice 
3/4 cup flour (very flexible, use what you have)
1 tablespoon vanilla (can add almond or other flavors as well)
Pinch of salt
2-3 cups fruit (cherries, peaches, apricots, berries, plums, etc)

Directions

Put eggs, milk, sweetener, vanilla and salt in a blender. Blend briefly then add flour and blend for about a minute. Pour into a buttered 9 in skillet or pie pan. Place fruit on top. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for about 30 minutes. It should puff slightly and set up. Dust with powdered sugar to serve, or serve with whipped cream.
