ingredients

• 500 g strawberries, hulled (1 lb 2 oz)
• 75 g caster sugar (3 oz)
• 125 g all-purpose flour (4 oz)
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 300 ml milk (1 1/4 cup)
• 30 g powdered sugar (1 oz)

directions

1. Lightly grease a 25cm/10in round or a 25x20cm/10x8in rectangular pan (ceramic or metal) with softened butter.
2. Rinse the strawberries, leaving them a little wet.
3. Toss with 1/3 of the caster sugar, then spread them evenly in the bottom of the dish.
4. Sift the flour, salt and the remaining sugar into a mixing bowl.
5. Make a well in the middle and pour in the beaten eggs.
6. Mix well, drawing in the flour from the sides.
7. Stir in the milk gradually until you have a smooth batter (You can use a food processor to make the batter).
8. Pour the batter into the dish over the strawberries, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for about 35 minutes until lightly browned and puffed up.
9. Clafouti is at its best eaten lukewarm; dust with the icing sugar just before serving.
10. Serve plain or with some lightly sweetened whipped cream if you're feeling decadent.

This recipe worked well for me. It was very easy It came out a little overdone, I should have checked on it before the full 35 minutes. I also think I could have flavored the batter somewhat. A little framboise would have been a good idea.

Very good! I had a little less than 500g strawberries and I forgot to grease the dish so we had to scrape the pudding out of it! Other than that it was pretty yummy, with the sugar being just right - not too much and not too little. DD and I are going to make it again soon and this time I hope to get it absolutely right!
