Strawberry and Pecan Clafoutis
This easy and delicious tart is studded with the juiciest strawberries and crunchy pecans and then baked in a sweet vanilla custard batter. It’s the perfect summer dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries, cleaned, hulled, and quartered
- ½ cup pecans, coarsely chopped
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ tsp salt or a pinch
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1½ cups half and half or whole milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract you can use all Vanilla, too
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Generously butter a large (10-inch) pie plate. Use a lovely pie dish as this will serve as your serving plate, too. Place the strawberries at the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the chopped pecans all over.
- Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Lightly beat the three eggs in a separate bowl. Add the milk and vanilla and almond extracts to the beaten eggs and whisk to blend. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients at once and quickly stir to avoid lumps.
- Pour the custard batter over the fruits and nuts.
- Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until the edges are set and it’s nicely browned on top. Oven heating and temperatures vary so adjust timing accordingly. Mine is firm and perfect at 45 minutes. Cool and enjoy. I suggest serving it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or even some vanilla ice cream! Enjoy!
