  • 150 ml milk or a mixture of milk and cream
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1/2 jar Opies figs in Luxardo dark rum about 150g of fruit without the syrup
  • 2 tsp sugar to coat the baking dish
  • 2 tsp butter to coat the baking dish

Instructions

  • Sift the flour into a mixing bowl, stir through the sugar and make a well in the centre
  • Break the eggs into the well and using a fork, beat the eggs, pulling the flour into the batter
  • Add the milk little by little, whisking with a balloon whisk till you have a smooth batter
  • Cover the batter and put to rest in the fridge for at least 20 minutes
  • Prepare the figs by halving them
  • Prepare the baking dish by greasing it well with the butter, then sprinkling over the 2 tsp of sugar
  • When you are ready to bake your clafoutis, pre-heat the oven to 180c (170c fan oven)
  • Dot the figs around the baking dish
  • Pour over the batter and put in the oven
  • Leave it undisturbed for at least 20 minutes, then check and adjust the oven temperature down if the clafoutis is starting to burn.
  • Cook for around 30 minutes till the batter is set
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-20 minutes, till warm rather than hot
  • Serve with cream or creme fraiche. For a really decadent dessert, stir some of the rum syrup through the cream before serving
