JULIA CHILD'S BERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a medium-size flameproof baking dish at least 1 1/2 inches deep.
• Place the milk, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt and flour in a blender. Blend at top speed until smooth and frothy, about 1 minute.
• Pour a 1/4-inch layer of batter in the baking dish. Turn on a stove burner to low and set dish on top for a minute or two, until a film of batter has set in the bottom of the dish. Remove from heat.
• Spread berries over the batter and sprinkle on the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Pour on the rest of the batter and smooth with the back of a spoon. Place in the center of the oven and bake about 50 minutes, until top is puffed and browned and a tester plunged into its center comes out clean.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving. (Clafoutis need not be served hot, but should still be warm. It will sink slightly as it cools.)

BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with butter.
• Place a layer of blueberries into the prepared baking dish.

BLUEBERRY-GINGER CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Place a rack at the upper level and a second in the middle of the oven. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease a 9-inch ceramic or glass baking dish or deep-dish pie plate (at least 1 1/2 quart capacity) well with butter.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, 1 cup sugar, flour, zest, cardamom and salt until smooth and combined, the sugar is dissolved, and there are no visible flecks of flour.
• Pour enough batter into the greased baking dish to cover the base by about 1/2 inch. Place the baking dish on the top rack of the oven and cook until the batter is just about set - it should jiggle slightly in the center - about 15 to 17 minutes.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven. Arrange the blueberries and the ginger on top in a single layer. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the fruit. Pour the remaining batter over the fruit, return the dish to the oven, and bake on the middle rack until the batter is completely cooked, about 60 to 65 minutes. The edges should be slightly firm and golden brown, and the center slightly jiggly. A knife inserted in the middle should come out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Dust the top of the clafoutis with confectioners' sugar to taste and serve warm or at room temperature.
