Clafoutis


Well the better half insisted on dessert last night, and I have been saving a tin of black doris plums for a Clafoutis.

Preheat the oven to 180C

In a bowl mix:
1 1/4 cups of milk
1/3 cup sugar (vanilla if you have it, other wise add vanilla too)
3 eggs
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup of flour

Generously grease a brownie tin with butter, and I mean generously! and place in to the hot oven for about 3-4 minutes to heat the dish up. Pour in about 1/4 of the mix in to the dish and cook for about 5 minutes until it firms up, take out of the oven and place the fruit onto the batter (you can use any fruit you want, cherries are very tasty and traditional) and then sprinkle over another 1/3 of a cup of sugar. Pour over the rest of the batter and return to the oven, cook for 45-60 minutes. Its cooked when it's golden brown and all puffed up, set in the middle but still has a slight wobble.
