Clafoutis inspired cranberry dessert
Inspired by the French clafoutis, this is an easy to make dessert when fresh cranberries are in season.
Ingredients
- 2 handfuls of fresh cranberries
- 4 tbsp of finely chopped nuts (I used almonds)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp plain wholewheat flour
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ cup milk
- ½ tsp baking powder
- a pinch of bicarbonate of soda
Instructions
- Pre heat the oven at 180 deg C
- Grease two 4½ inch round tart pans and arrange them on a bigger baking tray.
- Mix together the cranberries, nuts and sugar. Divide the mixture into two and arrange at the bottom of the two pans.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.
- In another bowl, whisk together the honey, egg, oil and milk.
- Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and whisk lightly till there are no lumps.
- Divide the mixture between the two pans over the cranberry and nut mixture. The cranberries will rise to the top.
- Place the tray in the centre of the pre heated oven and bake for about 25-27 minutes or till the top is golden or a toothpick inserted through the centre comes out clean.
- Serve when warm with a dusting of icing sugar.
- Other serving suggestions- a scoop of ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, some custard poured over it.
