Ingredients

• 2 cups mixed fresh Ontario berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or sliced strawberries)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or cast-iron skillet with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.

Step 2

Spread the fresh Ontario berries evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract (and almond extract if using) to the dry mixture, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth batter.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs one at a time, continuing to whisk until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.

Step 6

Pour the batter over the berries in the prepared dish, ensuring the berries are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Bake the clafouti in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center (a toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean).

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the clafouti to cool slightly. It will deflate slightly as it cools.

Step 9

Dust the top generously with powdered sugar before serving warm or at room temperature.

Step 10

Serve on its own or paired with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
