Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch ceramic baking dish, or a 2-quart gratin dish, or a 9-inch cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, toss the raspberries with 1 tbsp sugar. Let them sit while you prepare the remaining ingredients
- In a food processor or blender, combine the remaining ½ cup sugar with the lavender; process until the lavender is mostly ground, about 2 minutes. Then pour the milk, crème fraiche, eggs, and salt, and process to combine. Add the flour and pulse just to combine.
- Arrange the sugared berries in the prepared baking dish, then pour the egg mixture over them. Bake until the cake is golden and the center springs back when lightly touched, about 35 minutes.
- Transfer the baking dish to a wire rack and let the cake cook for at least 15 minutes before serving. Then dust it with confectioners' sugar, slice it, and serve it with a dollop of whipped crème fraiche if you like (I used Greek yogurt to serve along).

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the flavor of your clafoutis. Choose fruit that is at its peak ripeness for the best results.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the clafoutis until it is golden brown and puffed: The clafoutis is done baking when it is golden brown and puffed. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Serve the clafoutis warm or at room temperature: Clafoutis is best served warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Clafoutis is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be made with a variety of fruits. It is a perfect dish for a special occasion or a simple weeknight dessert. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, clafoutis is a dish that everyone can enjoy.
