KarenClafoutis (pronounced kläfo͞oˈtē) is a tart made of fruit that’s baked in a batter. It isn’t quite a cake and it isn’t quite a custard, but something in between the two. And it’s fabulous!
Since strawberries are in season and super delicious right now, I decided to make a Strawberry Clafoutis. Because the berries are so sweet, very little sugar is needed and, as the juicy, red berries bubbled over in the oven, I couldn’t help but think that this dish looks just as wonderful and decadent as it tastes.
Give it a try, while the berries are in season. You will not be disappointed!
Strawberry Clafoutis
Clafoutis (pronounced kläfo͞oˈtē) is a tart made of fruit that’s baked in a batter. It isn’t quite a cake and it isn’t quite a custard, but something in between the two. And it’s fabulous, especially when made with ripe and juicy strawberries!
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 4 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free flour may be used)
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
- 1 tsp. orange zest
- 3 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place 4 individual baking dishes (1-2 inches deep) on a large baking sheet and spray the dishes with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, toss strawberries with 1 tsp. sugar and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk the remaining sugar, flour and salt. Add eggs and whisk to combine. Add sour cream, melted butter and orange zest and continue to whisk.
- Divide the berries among the 4 baking dishes. Top with equal portions of the batter.
