Grape Clafoutis (Flaugnarde)
This grape clafoutis — technically a grape flaugnarde since it’s made without cherries — is a simple, custardy French dessert that comes together in minutes with just a handful of basic ingredients.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups seedless grapes, halved
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 5 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1/2 lemon (optional, for brightness)
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp melted butter (for greasing)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter.
- Prepare the grapes: Rinse, pat dry, and slice the grapes in half. If using frozen grapes, thaw and drain well to prevent excess moisture. (See recipe notes for the best way to thaw frozen fruit.) Note: If using other fruit, such as strawberries, apricots, or pears, I typically slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
- Make the batter: In a bowl, whisk room temperature eggs and sugar until frothy, i.e. until the mixture becomes light, slightly bubbly, and pale in color. Add milk, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt. Sift in the whole wheat flour and whisk gently until smooth.
- Pour custard into greased dish and bake 8-10 minutes to set slightly.
- Carefully remove your dish from the oven and scatter grapes on top, then return to oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden and set (a knife inserted should come out clean).
- Cool and serve: Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar.
