Peach Clafoutis (Baked Peach Custard)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.
  2. Butter a baking dish and sprinkle with 2–3 tbsp sugar to coat the bottom and sides.
  3. Arrange peach slices evenly in the dish.
  4. In a bowl, whisk eggs and remaining sugar until pale.
  5. Add flour and salt, whisk smooth.
  6. Gradually whisk in milk and vanilla (and cinnamon/zest if using).
  7. Pour batter over the peaches.
  8. Bake 40–45 minutes, until puffed, golden, and set in the center.
  9. Cool slightly – it will deflate (that’s normal).
  10. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm or cold.

🌟 Tips

  • You can substitute peaches with apricots, pears, apples, or cherries.
  • For a richer version, replace ¼ cup milk with cream.
  • Delicious with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
