Ingredients

• 1 cup Mixed dried fruits (apricots, cherries, raisins, etc.)
• 0.5 cup Brandy
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the mixed dried fruits and brandy. Let them soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour so the fruits become plump and infused with brandy.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter, ensuring even coverage.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.

Step 4

Slowly add the milk and heavy cream to the dry mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until lightly frothy, then add them to the batter along with the vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.

Step 6

Drain the brandied fruits and arrange them evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.

Step 7

Pour the batter over the fruits, ensuring they are evenly distributed and not clumped together.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the clafouti is puffed, golden brown, and set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
