Recipe: Blueberry Orange Clafouti

There’s no wrong way to eat blueberries and I find myself incorporating them into salad dressings and chutneys as well as desserts. One of my favorite ways to enjoy them is baked in a clafouti, a rustic French dish that sits on the fence between a custard and a pancake. Traditionally a clafouti is made with cherries (which is also delicious), but the sweet tartness of the blueberries work marvelously. You can also mix seasonal fruits if you like. This recipe is fairly bulletproof, so feel free to tweak it to your liking. Served hot or cold, with ice cream or whipped cream, this stuff will make you smile. Just a warning: your teeth may be blue!

2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 ¼ cups whole milk
1/3 cup + 4 tablespoons raw sugar
Finely grated zest of one large orange
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
pinch of salt
1 cup of all-purpose unbleached flour
mint to garnish
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (or 190 deg C)
