For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter to grease the baking dish. If you don't have Kirsch, you can substitute with Amaretto or Cognac. The clafouti is best served warm, but it can also be enjoyed at room temperature. Feel free to experiment with other fruits such as apples, berries, or plums.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Generously butter a 10 ½-inch round baking dish or pie plate. Arrange the pear slices in a decorative, overlapping pattern on the bottom of the dish. (5 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until light and pale, about 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until combined. (5 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, lemon zest, vanilla extract, cardamom, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Stir in the Kirsch. (5 minutes)
05
Step
15 mins
Let the batter rest for 15 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flour to fully hydrate, resulting in a smoother texture. (15 minutes)
06
Step
2 mins
Pour the batter evenly over the pears in the baking dish. (2 minutes)
07
Step
45 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the clafouti is puffed, golden brown, and set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. (40-45 minutes)
08
Step
15 mins
Let cool slightly on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. Dust generously with confectioners' sugar just before serving. (15 minutes)
