Blueberry clafoutis

Blueberry clafoutis

Gordon Ramsay’s dessert is bursting with berry and almond flavours, and can be prepared well in advance - in fact, it's best to make the batter 24 hours ahead

Method

  1. Grind the almonds to a very fine powder in a small food processor then blend in the flour and salt. Add the sugar, whole eggs, yolks and cream. Whizz until creamy smooth. (If you're making ahead, tip the batter into a jug at this point and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.)
  2. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Butter eight 10cm gratin dishes. Scatter the blueberries in the bottom.
  3. Give the batter a good stir, pour into the dishes and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until risen and lightly firm. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
Try

In two large dishes

If you prefer, you can make the clafoutis in two 20cm gratin dishes (or shallow flan dishes). Bake them at 190C/gas 5/fan 170C, for about 25-30 minutes.

    Very nice. Unfortunately we do not have golden castor sugar so I used normal without any problems. Very easy to make and rated well with my guests.

    Tasted lovely, easy to make and good if you make in advance. I cooked mine in one silicone baking dish and it still worked out great. I also found that most people had never heard of it so it was a novelty.

    This is absolutely delicious. I've never made a clafoutis before and this was a real hit. After the first one, I was asked to make it again the next day! Any time I want a special pudding, out comes the clafoutis.

    Never tried blueberry and almond in clafoutis before, and this is absolutely delicious. The almonds add a little nutty flavor and texture. Will keep this to my favorite recipe book!
