BLACKBERRY-GINGER CLAFOUTI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 9-inch pie plate with the butter. Dust the dish with 1 tablespoon sugar, making sure you cover the sides too! I do this by holding the pie plate near-vertical and shimmying the sugar around the edge. Set the pie plate aside.
- Using a stand mixer, an electric hand-mixer or a blender, mix the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, ginger, garam masala, eggs, milk, heavy cream and vanilla and let it go until the mixture is frothy.
- Arrange the blackberries in the bottom of the pie plate (I don't like it to look too uniform), and carefully pour the batter into the dish.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, rotating the dish halfway to ensure even cooking. You'll know it's done when you insert a knife into the center and it comes out clean. Don't worry if certain areas puff up more than others as the clafouti cools on your counter it will even out.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with a little powdered sugar, and topped with a little whipped cream, if desired. I like it just the way it is when it comes out of the oven!
- Combine the cinnamon sticks, cloves, green cardamom seeds, black cardamom seeds, if using into a spice grinder or coffee grinder and grind until fine. Store the spice mix in an airtight container away from direct sunlight.
BLUEBERRY-GINGER CLAFOUTIS
One of the most wonderful ways to celebrate fresh (and, in this case, even frozen) fruit, clafoutis originated in the Limousin region of France. Here, a small part of the batter is baked in the baking dish, then the berries, ginger and the rest of the batter is layered on top to prevent the blueberries from sinking and burning. For maximum lemon flavor, zest the lemon over the batter in Step 3. You can substitute any type of fresh fruit - berries, grapes, or cherries; just remember to adjust the amount of sugar you add accordingly.

Steps:
- Place a rack at the upper level and a second in the middle of the oven. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 9-inch ceramic or glass baking dish or deep-dish pie plate (at least 1 1/2 quart capacity) well with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, 1 cup sugar, flour, zest, cardamom and salt until smooth and combined, the sugar is dissolved, and there are no visible flecks of flour.
- Pour enough batter into the greased baking dish to cover the base by about 1/2 inch. Place the baking dish on the top rack of the oven and cook until the batter is just about set - it should jiggle slightly in the center - about 15 to 17 minutes.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven. Arrange the blueberries and the ginger on top in a single layer. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the fruit. Pour the remaining batter over the fruit, return the dish to the oven, and bake on the middle rack until the batter is completely cooked, about 60 to 65 minutes. The edges should be slightly firm and golden brown, and the center slightly jiggly. A knife inserted in the middle should come out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Dust the top of the clafoutis with confectioners' sugar to taste and serve warm or at room temperature.
VERY BLUEBERRY CLAFOUTI
This blueberry clafouti is somewhere between a fruit-filled pancake and a fruity egg custard. Wrong season for fresh berries? Use frozen berries thawed in a colander and discard the juice. -Ken Hulme, Venice, Florida

BLUEBERRY-GINGER BLENDER CLAFOUTI AND VARIATIONS
This recipe is from Cat Cora's cookbook, "Cooking from the Hip". Chef Cora says, "A clafouti combines the creaminess of a pudding and the texture of a cake but is easier to make than either one." She suggests serving this "warm from the oven with ice cream or softly whipped cream". It sounds delicious, so I thought I'd post it for safe keeping.

Tips:
- Fresh blueberries are best, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before using.
- Use a good quality vanilla extract. Imitation vanilla extract will not give you the same flavor.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough clafoutis.
- Bake the clafoutis until it is set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Serve the clafoutis warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
