Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (about 150g) fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds, plus extra for garnish
  • 3 large eggs (preferably free-range)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk (or use oat, almond, or half-and-half)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for greasing the dish)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional but recommended)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously butter a ceramic or cast-iron baking dish (about 9-inch round or similar size).
  2. Scatter blueberries and sliced almonds evenly over the bottom of the dish.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs and granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
  4. Add milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk to combine.
  5. Sift in the flour and whisk just until smooth—a bit thinner than pancake batter.
  6. Pour batter gently over the fruit and almonds in the dish, letting berries settle naturally.
  7. Bake in the center of the oven for 35–40 minutes, until puffed, golden at the edges, and just set in the center (it should still wobble slightly).
  8. Let cool at least 10 minutes. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving. Garnish with extra almonds and fresh berries if desired.
  9. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy plain or with a dollop of whipped cream, crème fraîche, or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For best results, use ripe, flavorful fruit. Toss frozen berries with a teaspoon of flour before baking to help prevent excess moisture. Clafoutis is meant to be rustic—don’t worry if it sinks as it cools. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; delicious cold or gently reheated. Swap the fruit or use gluten- and dairy-free substitutions as needed.
