Clafouti!

Hi! I know that I haven't shared any recipes for baking yet, so here's one I think you'll enjoy: clafouti! Clafouti is a cake-like dessert with a thick batter and fresh fruit on top. It tastes SO good and buttery and is really easy to make. My dad gave me this recipe, as he provides many of the recipes on Food For Thought. Here it is:

Clafouti

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 handfuls of fruit (I recommend fresh blueberries or peach slices--if you use peaches you will need about 3; bruises don't matter but I suggest you peel them first)
  • 3/4 cup milk

DIRECTIONS

  1. Stir flour and sugar together with 3/4 cup milk until just blended.
  2. Melt one stick of butter in a 375 degree oven in a 9x12" pan.
  3. Pour the batter into the pan so that it's surrounded by the melted butter on the edges and covering it in the middle.
  4. Dot the top with scattered fruit.
  5. Bake for 35-45 minutes.
  6. Optional: Dust with confectioners' sugar.

ENJOY! This dessert is so delicious. And remember: always add a pinch of love!
