Clafoutis, mulberries and blueberries

The batter

4 eggs

160g SF flour

1 pinch salt

300ml milk

60g caster sugar

1tbsp honey

1 tsp vanilla paste

Plain flour

Method

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, except milk.

This I add slowly to form a paste first which removed prevents you getting a lumpy batter.

Strain and add vanilla

350g berries ( I used 200g mulberries /150g blueberries)

1tbsp butter

1 tbsp caster sugar

A little orange zest + nutmeg

Grease the pan with butter and sugar, then top with zest and grated nutmeg.

Pop on berries, pour over batter.

Bake for around 30 mins 190 deg first 10 drop to 175 for the remaining bake.

(Optional extra, occasionally, once done I’ll top with sugar and brûlée under the grill)

Serve with ice cream or cream.

Great cold the next day too!
