Blackberry clafoutis

Serves 6

Clafoutis is a shallow French cake, something like a large puffy pancake, traditionally baked with cherries. The batter takes minutes to whir in a blender. Here, Central Kitchen’s Gary Strack uses blackberries, but you can bake a clafoutis with any fruit in season. In the fall, try it with apples or pears.

Butter (for the pan) Flour (for the pan) 6 eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 1/4 cups whole milk 2 tablespoonsframboise 3/4 cup flour 1 pint fresh blackberries Confectioners’ sugar (for sprinkling)

1. Set the oven at 425 degrees. Generously butter a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish. Dust the skillet or dish with flour, tapping out the excess.
