Spring Nicoise Salad from How Sweet Eats

Julia Child’s Berry Clafoutis

Ingredients
  

  • Butter for pan
  • 1 and 1/4 cups whole or 2 percent milk
  • cup granulated sugar divided
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 pint 2 generous cups blackberries or blueberries, rinsed and well drained
  • Powdered sugar in a shaker

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a medium-size flameproof baking dish at least 1 1/2 inches deep.
  • Place the milk, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt and flour in a blender. Blend at top speed until smooth and frothy, about 1 minute.
  • Pour a 1/4-inch layer of batter in the baking dish. Turn on a stove burner to low and set dish on top for a minute or two, until a film of batter has set in the bottom of the dish. Remove from heat.
  • Spread berries over the batter and sprinkle on the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Pour on the rest of the batter and smooth with the back of a spoon. Place in the center of the oven and bake about 50 minutes, until top is puffed and browned and a tester plunged into its center comes out clean.
