The Method

1
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan/ Gas Mark 4). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with Jersey butter.
2
Wash and pat dry the figs. Trim the stems and quarter them (or halve if they are small). Arrange the figs evenly in the prepared baking dish.
3
In a blender or with a whisk, combine the Jersey milk, eggs, caster sugar, vanilla extract, plain flour, ground almonds (if using) and a pinch of salt. Blend or whisk until smooth.
4
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the figs in the baking dish. Dot the top with small pieces of the remaining Jersey butter.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and golden brown around the edges. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
6
Let the clafoutis cool slightly before serving. Dust with icing sugar, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, add a splash of rum or brandy to the custard mixture.

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

Serve with a dollop of Jersey cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
