Nectarine Clafoutis

Buy a punnet with 9 nectarines and you don't have fun eating them for a couple of days because they are rock hard.

Then all 9 of them are fully soft in one day. And then you can see them rot away when you do not eat them at once.

I ate some, threw 2 out do to mold and decided to use the other ones to bake something with.

Clafoutis is a French dessert, usually made with cherries. It is a pancake like batter, but you can easily improve it.

Recipe for a 23 cm dish:

5 nectarines

40 g melted butter + butter for the dish

Pinch of salt

50 g sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

120 g flour

80 g ground almonds

1/2 tsp baking powder

250 ml whole milk

Icing sugar to top later

Butter the baking dish and preheat the oven 

180 C fan.

In a bowl stir melted butter, sugar, salt, vanilla together. Add the eggs. In an other bowl stir flour, almonds and baking powder together and add it to the wet mix. Stir and loosen everything with milk. Let the batter rest while you take care of the fruits.

Wash and destone the nectarines and cut them in bite size chunks. Place them on the bottom of the dish.

Pour the batter on top and bake for 35 to 40 min

Serve at roomtemp with icing sugar on top.
