Ingredients

  • 400 g gooseberries
  • 30 g butter plus extra to grease your baking dish
  • 2 eggs
  • 150 ml milk
  • 90 g granulated sugar
  • 90 g flour
  • 2 tablespoons of icing sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C or gas mark four.
  • Cut the tops and stalks off of your gooseberries, and give them a good wash.
  • Butter your pie dish or baking tin, and then lightly sprinkle it with a little bit of icing sugar, before placing your gooseberries in the dish or tin.
  • In a separate bowl, beat your eggs and sugar together until creamy. Then add your flour, vanilla extract and milk and mix well until combined.
  • Melt your butter in a small pan and add to the batter, stirring well.
  • Pour the batter over the gooseberries, and place your dish or tin in the oven for around 35 minutes, or until your clafoutis is puffed and golden brown and a skewer or knife comes out clean. I had to place some baking parchment over my clafoutis at around the 20 minute mark to stop it burning, so keep an eye out!
