I love baking and enjoy eating a good pudding. Lately when I have decided to bake I have found myself sticking to the same old victoria sponge cake recipe. This time I decided to mix it up a bit and try out a new recipe. During my flick through recipe books I came across blueberry clafoutis. I had never heard of it before but liked the look of it and fancied making something fruity. I went to the supermarket and bought the ingredients and this is how it went. The recipe is really simple and easy and it's quick to make (took me about 30 mins). It even got my mum's approval (and she is not a pudding person!)
You will need:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 and a half oz of caster sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 and a quarter oz of plain flour
- 250ml single cream
- Half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 3 punnets of blueberries (about 350g-400g)
Optional:
- Icing sugar to decorate
- Single cream or custard to serve
Method
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees and grease a 1 litre baking dish.
Step 2:
Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs and beat together with the sugar and butter.
Step 3:
Mix in the flour. Then gradually add in the cream and the cinnamon. Stir until smooth.
Step 4:
Put the blueberries in the bottom of the greased baking dish and then pour the mixture on top. Bake in the oven for around 45 minutes or until puffed and golden.
Step 5:
Dust with icing sugar and serve with cream or custard.
Ta-dar! A wonderfully tasty pudding. It's best served warm and tastes delicious with single cream. I've already been booked to make it for the next family party!
