How to Make Fresh Fig Clafouti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously butter a 10-inch pie plate or similar oven-safe dish.
  3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over the buttered dish.
  4. In a large measuring cup or bowl with a pouring spout, whisk together 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 3 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well blended.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  6. Gradually whisk the wet ingredients (milk mixture) into the dry ingredients (flour mixture) until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter through a fine-mesh strainer into the prepared pie plate, pressing gently on any lumps to remove them.
  8. Arrange approximately 1 pound of fresh figs, cut-side up, on top of the batter. Use a variety of fig types for best results.
  9. Dot the top of the figs with 2 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
  10. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the edges are puffed, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the clafouti cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over the warm clafouti.
  13. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
