Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large eggs plus 3 egg yolks
1 cup turbinado sugar
2 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored brandy
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Unsalted butter, for the baking dish
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, halved
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Combine the eggs, egg yolks, 1/2 cup turbinado sugar, the half-and-half, flour, Grand Marnier, vanilla and salt in a blender. Pulse until the sugar has dissolved and the batter is smooth, about 1 minute. Let sit at room temperature, 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Butter the bottom and side of an 11-inch ceramic tart pan or pie plate and set on a baking sheet. Toss the cranberries with 5 tablespoons turbinado sugar in a small bowl; spread in the bottom of the prepared tart pan. Bake until the mixture starts to caramelize, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F.
  • Carefully pour 1 cup of the prepared batter into the hot pan and let sit 5 minutes, then pour in the remaining batter. Sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons turbinado sugar on top. Bake until puffed and almost set, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 20 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup tawny Port
1/3 cup rye whiskey or brandy
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
3/4 stick unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar mixed with
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in upper third. Butter a 9-inch shallow baking dish.
  • Briskly simmer cranberries, Port, whiskey, and cinnamon in a small heavy saucepan, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until almost syrupy, 12 to 15 minutes. Pour into baking dish.
  • Blend together eggs, milk, butter, sugar, flour, vanilla, and salt in a blender and pour over cranberries, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake until slightly puffed and set in center, about 35 minutes. Cool clafoutis briefly on a rack.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh cranberries: Look for cranberries that are plump, firm, and have a deep red color. Avoid berries that are soft, bruised, or have any signs of mold.
  • Wash the cranberries thoroughly: Before using, rinse the cranberries under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a good quality clafoutis batter: The batter for clafoutis should be smooth and creamy. If the batter is too thick, it will not cook evenly. If the batter is too thin, it will not hold its shape.
  • Preheat the oven: Before baking the clafoutis, preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe. This will help ensure that the clafoutis cooks evenly.
  • Bake the clafoutis until it is set: The clafoutis is done baking when it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the clafoutis warm: Clafoutis is best served warm, but it can also be served at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Cranberry clafoutis is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart flavor, this clafoutis is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this cranberry clafoutis a try. You won't be disappointed!
