Blackcurrant and Miso Clafoutis

The miso paste adds a lowkey saltiness to this clafoutis, bringing out the flavor of vanilla and enriching the cream. Serve lukewarm with whipped cream.

  4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy ovenproof cast iron skillet. Use a piece of paper towel to spread the butter around the base and sides of the skillet. Sprinkle all over with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar to leave a thin, glittering crust around the skillet.

    Cook’s Note

    Alternatively, you could use a ceramic pie dish, in which case you should melt the butter in the dish in the oven for a few minutes, rather than on the stove.

  5. Tip blackcurrants into the prepared dish and arrange evenly. Pour batter carefully on top.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until clafoutis is set around the sides, but still jiggles in the center, about 30 minutes. Leave to cool until lukewarm before serving.
