Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 356º F (180° C). Butter a pie pan of about 9 inches (23 cm) in diameter.
- In a large bowl add the eggs with the sugar, milk, vanilla extract and lemon zest. Mix with a hand whisk for 1 minute until the ingredients are perfectly integrated.
- Add the sifted flour along with the salt and beat for a few seconds until you get a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter in the pie pan carefully and then nestle the figs, cut in half on top, face up. Bake at 356º F (180° C) for approximately 40-45 minutes until the clafoutis puffs up, and turn golden brown around the edges and a wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
- Once ready, remove the clafoutis from the oven and let it cool down completely. It will deflate as it cools down, which is normal. To serve, decorate with powdered sugar.
