I am still drowning in figs! We've sampled them in so many delectable ways from procuitto and goat cheese wrapped figs, hot honey figs, a gamut of salads, several bottles of jam and now its time for dessert.
Clafoutis it is! Easy to whip up, it is a fast bake in a hot oven. A batter of eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, flour and baking powder is poured over halved figs and baked. The clafoutis is both cake-like and custardy and this French confection neber fails to please.
FIG CLAFOUTIS
Serves 4-6
12 small Figs
Butter
3 Eggs
3/4 cup Milk
3/4 cup Cream
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 cup AP Flour
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
Confectioner's Sugar
Heat oven to 350F/180C.
Grease a 9'x9' baking dish with butter. I used a 10 inch oval.
Cut figs in half and place in buttered dish, cut side up.
Whisk eggs, milk, cream and vanilla.
Place flour sugar and baking powder in another bowl.
Add egg mix to flour stirring till there are no lumps.
Pour the batter carefully into baking dish. The figs might sink into the batter , but they will rise as it bakes.
Bake for 40 minutes.
Dust with confectioner's sugar and serve warm.
