Winter Fruit Clafoutis

Ingredients:

• 50g self raising flour, sifted
• 70g castor sugar
• 40g almond meal
• 4 eggs
• 130ml full-cream milk
• 400ml thickened cream
• 1 tbsp Grand Marnier
• 500g seasonal fruits (quinces, apples and pears in winter, or berries and stonefruit in summer)

Method:

Put the flour, sugar, almond meal and eggs in a large mixing bowl and whip with a whisk. Add the milk, cream and Grand Marnier. Pour a first level of mix into individual soup plates or any deep ovenproof dishes. Add the sliced fruit, then pour the rest of the mix over the fruits.
