Ingredients: 1/2 cup sugar 1 cup low-fat or whole milk 3 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp almond extract 1/3 cup flour 1/3 cup almonds 2-4 pears, cored, peeled, and evenly sliced lengthwise (about 6 slices per pear). 1/2 cup cherries, pitted and halved Instructions: In a blender combine all ingredients, except the pears and cherries. Blend very well, scraping the sides of the blender a few times to get all the flour mixed in and almonds ground. Prepare the pears and arrange on the bottom of the greased pan in a pinwheel fashion, with the base of the pear sections toward the outer edge. Add the cherries in the center. Slowly pour the egg batter into the pie pan – the pears will float so nudge them about to keep their pinwheel formation. Bake in the oven until set, puffy and golden about 45-60 minutes. Cut into 6 slices. Notes: Clafoutis (claw-foo-tea) are a traditional country French dessert, best described as a cross between a cake and flan. With the addition of ground almonds, I reduced the amount of flour. If you wish for more a cake texture, add 1/3 cup more flour. |
