Step-by-step

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Prepare a 20cm cake tin by greasing with butter, or a shallow pudding dish or you can even use individual tart tins.
  2. Melt the butter in a pan until it just starts to colour but don't let it burn. Leave it to cool.
  3. Into a large bowl, add the eggs, sugar, cream and whisk together. You could add some vanilla at this point if you want. Add the flour, a little at a time and whisk it in to avoid any lumps. Finish the batter by adding the melted butter, again stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
  4. Scatter the fruit evenly over the base of the prepared cake tin, pudding dish or individual tart tins. Pour the batter evenly over the fruit.
  5. Put the clafoutis in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until golden. For individual servings, bake for 8-12 minutes until golden. Serve warm.
