-
Preheat your oven to 180°C/gas mark four.
-
Cut the tops and stalks off of your gooseberries, and give them a good wash.
-
Butter a roughly 20cm pie dish or baking tin and then lightly sprinkle with a little bit of icing sugar. Place your gooseberries in the dish.
-
Beat your eggs and sugar together until creamy. Then add your flour (sifted), vanilla essence and milk and mix well until combined.
-
Melt your butter in a small pan and add to the mix, stirring well.
-
Pour the batter over the gooseberries, and place your pan 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!
-
Dust with icing sugar and serve warm, perhaps with a spot of cream!
