Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Grease two 12-oz. porcelain ramekins or one large ramekin with butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Wash strawberries under cool water, drain in a colander, and hull them using a strawberry huller. Cut berries into halves or quarters lengthwise and place them in the bottom of the prepared mold(s). 
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Add the whole egg and the beaten yolk and mix with a hand whisk. Add milk and heavy cream, and mix until you obtain a smooth batter. Pour the preparation over the strawberries.
  3. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until puffy and golden brown. Serve warm or cold from ramekins or a baking dish. Dust with icing (powdered) sugar.

Notes

  1. Watch the video on how to hull strawberries with a strawberry huller.
  2. Use a blender to make the batter if desired.
  3. To flavor your clafoutis, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract or rose water.
  4. For a more exotic flavor, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of shredded coconut. 
  5. If your strawberries are not sweet enough, sprinkle berries with a bit of sugar before adding the batter, and serve your clafoutis sprinkled with icing sugar.
