Seasonal Summer Fruit Clafoutis

by Josiah Meldrum August 30, 2021 1 Comment

This easy and versatile dish makes the most of seasonal fruit for a superb late summer dessert - or even a whole meal! It's especially lovely made with little yellow mirabelle plums, which have a wonderful honeydew sweetness.

Makes 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

400g Mirabelle Plums, halved - or other fruit such as Plums, Apricots, Cherries or Strawberries, chopped into approx 1cm pieces.
1tsp Rapeseed Oil, or other mild cooking oil, for greasing
1tbsp Apple Syrup (optional)
1tbsp Rum (optional)

For the Batter

100g Flour - almost any flour will work well. We like a Wholemeal YQ Flour or Botanical Blend Flour for extra aromatic breadth of flavour
70g Golden Caster Sugar
3 Eggs - either hens eggs or chia eggs (for each chia egg mix 1tbsp Chia Seeds with 2½tbsp water and leave to stand for 5 minutes)
250ml Milk - PureOaty Oat Drink works brilliantly or use any other fullish fat milk or alternative

For Sprinkling

1 tbsp Light Muscovado Sugar (or Golden Caster Sugar)

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C.
Lightly oil a baking or flan dish (approx 23cm)
Spread the fruit over the base of the dish and drizzle over the apple syrup and/or rum, if using.
Mix the batter ingredients together, by hand or in a blender, and pour over the fruit.
Pour over the batter and sprinkle over the extra sugar.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned.

Made the vegan version but with figs and cooking apple instead of plums – absolutely delicious! Will be making again with whatever seasonal fruit we have.

Sticky Gingerbread Cake

by Amy Oboussier December 16, 2024

This recipe combines malted wheat and rye flour to create a rich sticky ginger cake, reminiscent of Jamaican Gingerbread or Yorkshire Parkin. Rye flour is usually associated with heavy dense bread, but this gingerbread is surprisingly light and delicate, while still being comforting.
