Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 cups whole milk (or a combination of whole milk and half and half)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 6 ripe peaches (about 2 pounds)
  • Butter for greasing the pan
  • Confectioners' sugar (to serve (optional))
  • Vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream (to serve, so not really optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and sugar, and cinnamon, if using.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and/or half and half, eggs, and vanilla. Pour this into the dry mixture, and whisk the batter until smooth. Let sit in the refrigerator while you prepare the peaches.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop the peaches into the boiling water, and let them cook for 15 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon, and slip off the skins. Cut the peaches into slices.
  • Generously butter a pretty 10-cup baking dish (you will be serving the clafoutis in the dish you bake it in.) Arrange the peaches on the bottom of the baking dish, then re-stir the batter and pour the it over the fruit.
  • Bake for about one hour. Remove from the oven when the clafoutis is puffed and very lightly brown, just a teeny bit jiggly in the middle, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Sprinkle warm with powdered sugar, if desired, and whipped cream or ice cream.
