Berrylicious

It feels like a typical day in London today – wet and cold. Love love love it! The problem though is that this weather always inspires an unhealthy activity in the kitchen.

I’m trying to fit into a bikini in 2 weeks but I just can’t seem to find the will power to stay away from my most favouritest thing in the world – dessert. L Damn you Stefano!

So today, I consulted one of my new acquisitions, flipped a few pages and came across something very sexy – the Cherry Clafoutis. It’s a baked French dessert made with cherries and batter. I didn’t have cherries in the fridge and sure as hell wasn’t going to drive out in the rain to find them so I improvised. I used blueberries and strawberries instead and it turned out just fine…mighty fine, in fact J

The recipe is as follows:

Ingredients

·         ¼ cup melted butter

·         1 cup strawberries

·         ½ cup blueberries

·         ½ cup self raising flour

·         3 eggs

·         Pinch of salt

·         ½ cup sugar

·         1 cup milk

Method

·         Preheat oven to 160 ̊c

·         Grease oven proof dish

·         Arrange berries evenly on the dish

·         In a bowl, sift flour, add sugar, salt, butter, eggs and mix well. Gradually add the milk until mixture is runny and mix well.

·         Gently pour the mixture over the berries and bake for approximately 35 minutes

·         I had mine with double cream Greek yoghurt (yes, healthy, I know) and it tasted like a dream
