Dessert - Clafoutis with white grapes and red grapes by Zamfira K. - Recipia

The clafoutis with white grapes and red grape clusters is a simple dessert with a liquid batter similar to that of pancakes. The fruits are placed both at the bottom of the dish and on top, and in the oven, the batter sets and browns. I got the recipe from Timea and kept the combination of table white grapes with red grapes, which gives the dessert a pleasant appearance and a slightly different taste from the clafoutis made with regular fruits. Quick Info Preparation time: not specified in the original recipe Baking time: approximately 45 minutes Total time: preparation time plus 45 minutes of baking and complete cooling Servings: number not specified; depends on the size of the dish and the slice served Difficulty: easy Recipe type: fruit dessert, suitable for serving after cooling Ingredients 3 eggs 1 pinch of salt 1 packet of vanilla sugar 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar 250 ml of cold milk 8 tablespoons of sifted white flour 1 bunch of table white grapes 1 small bowl of freshly picked red grape clusters 1 tablespoon of Rama margarine, for greasing the dish 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, for decoration Preparation method 1. Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees. It is important that the dish goes into an already heated oven, as the recipe indicates this temperature from the beginning of the baking. 2. Put the eggs in a bowl and beat them at high speed with a mixer. Add the salt, granulated sugar, and vanilla sugar. Continue mixing until the ingredients are well combined. 3. Reduce the mixer speed and pour in the cold milk. Continue mixing without stopping the mixer. 4. Gradually add the sifted white flour, mixing continuously. In the end, you should obtain a liquid batter, similar to pancake batter. It is not a thick batter that can be shaped, but one that is poured into the dish. 5. Grease a heat-resistant dish with Rama margarine. Spread the margarine over the surface of the dish so that the batter and fruits do not come into direct contact with the dish. 6. Place some of the white grapes and red grapes in the dish. The fruits are placed first at the bottom of the dish before pouring the batter. 7. Pour the liquid mixture over the fruits arranged in the dish. Then distribute the remaining fruits on top. 8. Place the dish in the preheated oven at 180 degrees. Let the clafoutis bake for about 45 minutes until the dessert is nicely browned. 9. Remove the dish from the oven and dust the clafoutis with powdered sugar. 10. Allow the dessert to cool completely before slicing. After cooling, cut it and serve it. The batter is very simple, but its consistency must be monitored closely. After adding the flour, it remains fluid and does not thicken like a cake batter. This is the intended appearance in the recipe and allows the fruits to be enveloped by the mixture during baking. Why I make the recipe often I love this recipe because it does not require a complicated batter and is prepared with common ingredients. Eggs, milk, flour, and sugar transform into a fine mixture, and the grapes add the fruit component. It is also a useful option when I have white and red grapes on hand and want to use them in a baked dessert. Another advantage is that the fruits do not need to be incorporated into a dense batter. Some are placed in the dish, and the rest are sprinkled on top, making preparation quick and easy to follow. The clafoutis is served after it has cooled completely, so it can be prepared ahead of the time when it will be sliced. Tips and variations Tips Flour should be added sifted, as indicated in the recipe. This way, the mixture incorporates more easily, and the batter remains uniform. Follow the order of ingredients: first beat the eggs with the salt, sugar, and vanilla sugar, then add the milk, and finally the flour. The milk should be cold, according to the recipe. Do not expect a thick mixture. The clafoutis batter is liquid, like that for pancakes. If you compare it to a cake batter, it will seem much more fluid, but this is the correct consistency for this recipe. Baking takes about 45 minutes at 180 degrees. The dessert is ready when it is nicely browned on the surface. The time may vary slightly depending on the dish used and the oven, so the main reference remains the browned appearance mentioned in the original recipe. After baking, let the dish cool before cutting the dessert. The clafoutis is easier to slice after it has cooled completely. Substitutions The original recipe uses Rama margarine for greasing the dish, table white grapes, and red grape clusters. I have not included other substitutions, as they do not appear in the version from which the recipe starts. If you want to keep the result as close to the original as possible, use exactly the types of fruits and quantities indicated. The amount of grapes is expressed as a bunch of white grapes and a small bowl of red grapes, not by an exact weight. Variations The presented version is a clafoutis with fruits, made with white and red grapes. No other fruits or additional ingredients are indicated, so it is not necessary to modify the basic composition. You can maintain the distribution of fruits in two stages, regardless of the proportion between white and red grapes: some are placed in the dish before the batter, and the rest are sprinkled on top after pouring. This is the structure used in the original recipe. Serving ideas The clafoutis is dusted with the 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar after it is taken out of the oven. It is then allowed to cool completely, sliced, and served plain. Powdered sugar is used for decoration and is not added to the batter after baking. For a uniform appearance, the dessert can be dusted before serving, but the amount remains as indicated in the ingredient list. Frequently asked questions How long does the clafoutis with grapes bake? The clafoutis bakes for approximately 45 minutes at 180 degrees in the preheated oven. It is ready when the dessert is nicely browned. What should the batter be like before baking? The batter should be liquid, similar to that for pancakes. It is obtained by mixing the eggs with sugar and salt, then adding the milk and flour. When is the powdered sugar added? The powdered sugar is sprinkled after the dish is removed from the oven. The dessert is then allowed to cool completely before slicing. Can I put all the fruits only on top? In the original recipe, some fruits are first placed in the greased dish, then the batter is poured, and the rest of the fruits are added on top. To keep the steps of the recipe, it is recommended to follow this order. Is the number of servings specified? No. The recipe does not mention the size of the dish or the number of servings, so the number of slices depends on the dish used and the size of the portions. Nutritional values The values below are estimates and cannot be exact, as the recipe does not specify the weight of the grapes, the size of the dish, or the number of servings. For the entire recipe, the basic composition, without an exact calculation of the fruits and margarine, has approximately: 1,100-1,300 kcal 45-50 g protein 180-205 g carbohydrates 25-35 g fat Per serving, the values depend mainly on the number of slices. If the dessert is divided into 6 servings, the estimate is approximately 185-215 kcal per serving, plus the exact contribution of the fruits and powdered sugar depending on the amount used. These figures are indicative and should not be considered precise nutritional values. Storage and reheating The clafoutis is stored after it has cooled completely. Since the recipe does not specify a method or exact duration for storage, it is recommended to keep it covered and consume it in a short time for the texture to remain as pleasant as possible. For serving, the dessert can be left to reach room temperature. The original recipe does not include reheating instructions, so it is not necessary to warm it before serving. The most important thing is not to slice it while it is hot, but to wait for it to cool completely.
