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 at the bottom of the prepared mold/s. 
  2. In a mixing bowl, place corn starch, sugar, and salt. Add the whole egg and the beaten yolk and mix with a hand whisk. Incorporate milk, heavy cream, and mix until you obtain a smooth batter. Pour the preparation over strawberries.
  3. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until puffy and golden brown. Serve warm or cold from ramekins or 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 more exotic flavor, stir 1/2 teaspoon of shredded coconut into the batter. 
  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.
