The Method

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until light and frothy.
3
Gradually whisk in the flour until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
4
Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream (if using), whisking constantly to combine. Stir in the almond extract.
5
Arrange the sliced pears and plums evenly in the prepared baking dish. Scatter the blackberries on top. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the fruits.
6
Pour the custard mixture over the fruit and almonds, ensuring the fruit is mostly submerged.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
8
Let the clafoutis cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

Chef's Tips

You can substitute other seasonal fruits, such as apples, apricots, or cherries.

For a richer flavor, try using half-and-half instead of milk.

If the top is browning too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.

The clafoutis is best served warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
