Peach Clafouti

Serves	6 - 8
Inspiration	Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook

Ingredients

4 Large fresh peaches (which have been skinned and coarsely chopped to make about 3 cups of fruit)
2/3 cups whipping cream
1/3 cup milk
3 Large eggs
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
2 Tbsp butter (melted)
1 Tsp vanilla extract
1/8 Tsp salt
1/2 Tbsp icing sugar for dusting


Preheat the oven to 375 deg F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate with about 1 tsp butter.

Bring a large saucepan filled with water to a boil. Add the peaches for 14 seconds and then remove to a bowl which is filled with ice water. This will allow the skins to slip off, but not cook the peaches.

Peel and pit the peaches. Coarsely chop the fruit and place in the prepared pie plate.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the whipping cream, milk, eggs, flour, sugar, melted butter, vanilla and pinch (1/8 tsp) salt. Beat with an electric mixer (or whisk) on low speed until smooth.

Pour the batter over the peaches.

Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until puffed and light brown.

Cool slightly. Sift icing sugar over the top and serve warm.
