A very pleasant breakfast treat, from Morning Glories by Donna Leahy. Simple, with lovely flavor. This fruit combination is quite nice, but other fruits you have on hand would work as well.

CRANBERRY CLAFOUTI



Cranberry Clafouti image

This will make an excellent desert for the holidays. Give them cranberries in a whole new way. I don't know how anyone can't love this dish. I was going make a Martha Stewart Cherry Clafouti, but the grocery store was out of cherries. I also needed cherry liquor, but the liquor store was closed. I did have cranberries and Grand Marnier which sounded really good. I was right on the money. It's fantastic, probably better than the cherry version. The cranberries add a nice tartness to the dish. I hope you like it.

CRANBERRY CLAFOUTI



Cranberry Clafouti image

Categories     Bake     Cranberry

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Butter for the dish
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup half-and-half or whole milk
Pinch of salt
1 cup cranberries
1/2 cup walnuts
Confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Butter a deep 9- or 10-inch pie plate, round porcelain dish, or gratin dish of similar size. Sprinkle it with a tablespoon or so of the sugar, then swirl the dish to coat evenly with sugar; invert to remove the excess.
  • Beat the egg well, then add the remaining sugar; beat until smooth. Add the flour and beat again until smooth. Add the half-and-half and salt and whisk once more until smooth.
  • Coarsely chop the cranberries and walnuts; you can do this in a food processor if you like (it's very fast), but be careful not to overprocess-you want to break up the cranberries, not mince them. Put the cranberry mixture in the bottom of the dish and pour the batter over it.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the clafouti is nicely browned on top and a knife inserted into it comes out clean. Sift some confectioners' sugar over it and serve warm or at room temperature.

CRANBERRY CLAFOUTI CUPS



Cranberry Clafouti Cups image

Treading ground somewhere between cake and pudding, clafouti is a traditional French baked dessert that combines fresh fruit with a rich batter. Most recipes list cherries as the fruit of choice, but in honor of Thanksgiving, this version calls for cranberries.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups fresh cranberries
1 1/2 cups cranberry juice cocktail, or water
6 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter six 1-cup custard cups or a 9-inch oven-proof baking dish.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries and cranberry juice cocktail. Bring to a simmer and cook over very low heat for 5 minutes. Drain, reserving cranberries and juice separately. Return the juice to the saucepan and boil until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 8 minutes.
  • Combine the eggs, sugar, flour, milk, cream, and vanilla in a blender and blend at high speed until smooth. Stir in the reduced cranberry liquid.
  • Divide the cranberries evenly between the prepared dishes. Pour the custard mixture over the berries, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake until custard is puffed and golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

Tips:

- To achieve a smooth batter, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. - To prevent sticking, butter and flour the baking dish thoroughly. - For a golden-brown crust, sprinkle some granulated sugar on top before baking. - If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely and pat dry before adding to the batter. - For a richer flavor, use a combination of fresh and dried cranberries. - To add a touch of tartness, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of grated lemon zest. - For a more decadent dessert, top the clafoutis with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
