Introduction
This Easy Mini Blueberry Clafoutis is a soft, custard-like French dessert that feels fancy but is incredibly simple to make. Traditionally from France, clafoutis combines a light batter with juicy fruit, creating something between a pancake and a baked custard. These mini versions are perfect for individual servings, bursting with sweet blueberries and a delicate vanilla flavor.
Ingredients
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon melted butter
Extra butter for greasing ramekins
Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F)
Lightly grease small ramekins or a muffin tin with butter
Distribute the blueberries evenly into each ramekin
In a bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and slightly frothy
Add milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter, then mix well
Sift in the flour and salt, whisking until you get a smooth batter
Pour the batter over the blueberries, filling each mold about 3/4 full
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until puffed and golden on top
Let them cool slightly before serving
Dust with powdered sugar just before serving
Method
The batter is similar to a thin pancake or crepe mixture. As it bakes, it rises around the fruit and forms a soft, custardy center with lightly crisp edges. Using mini molds helps the clafoutis cook faster and gives a perfect individual texture in every bite.
