My New Favorite Dessert from Julia Child | Jamie & Julia

[@SchmaltzyCraftsy]

I make her recipe often and simplified her recipe more. A few steps are unneccesary. No blender needed, I just hand whisk well. Just pour it all in to buttered ovensafe nonstick skillet pan. No stovetop time needed. Add in fruit, make sure it's covered (berries work great too), slam into cold oven. Turn to 350, remove in 50 minutes. Done. It takes 5 min to make, uses one bowl and one pan. I suggest blueberry clafoutis topped with lemon curd and whipped cream.

[@yesjustmia]

That‘s actually helpful for those of us who are not talented at baking, thanks! 👍🏻

[@SchmaltzyCraftsy]

@@yesjustmia use a buttered oven safe non stick metal skillet. Do not use glass or correll etc as it will stick even if buttered. If you have to just be aware and I'd bake it only 30-40 min instead, and check to see it's done. It tasted over baked in the glass. My skillet just slides it out and clean up is a breeze.

[@dalededen]

Sounds terrific. The tips are helpful. When other fruit is used, like your blueberries, it’s a “flaugnarde,” rather than clafoutis.

[@Hollis_has_questions]

Whipped cream (soft peaks, only a little confectioners sugar added, maybe some powdered cardamom) on the side, most definitely.

[@57precision]

It seems like a lot of times Julia makes recipes more complicated for no discernible benefit. What's the point of setting the batter on the stovetop when it's going into the oven anyway?

[@hoi1916]

Jamie and Julia is my fav series. Love it.

[@antichef]

LOVE hearing that!

[@moya034]

Julia Child is a national treasure, thanks for keeping her alive.

♥️👊

[@reggiebuffat]

Except for the moussaka, she has no clue about moussaka. At all.

[@TokyoBlue587]

@@reggiebuffat Yes, her moussaka recipe seemed more like a meatloaf, it was bizarre.

[@serioushex3893]

julia will never die. her recipes will live on for a long, long, loooooong time.

[@ChrisTackettMusic]

It's really tasty and easy and works well with any stone fruit. Cherries, peaches, plums, nectarines... just cut the bigger ones into smaller pieces and use the same batter and everything. Yummy!

[@antichef]

I gotta try that!!

[@phil2u48]

We had two ancient mirabelle plum trees in Normandy and the plums made a wonderful clafoutis.

[@luadraponies]

Good brandy in it gives lots of depth

[@kaybrown4010]

I made one once with pears and cranberries. Super good!

[@MaluhXav]

I'll try with strawberry

[@katrinaquezada42]

If you’re pitting Cherries and you don’t have a dedicated pitter. Take a soda bottle(individual size) drink or drain it; put the cherry on the open lip of the bottle and do the straw method. All the splatter stays in the bottle and the pits go straight in to a handy and tossable container.

[@brooklyn-kx4eh]

“I’m just going to go with whatever my heart tells me” always my attitude when baking lol 😆 Another amazing look dish!

[@antichef]

The heart wants what the heart wants…in this case, more sugar

[@jeanvignes]

I made cherry clafoutis for my mother fifty years ago and she was delighted. It was one of my peak experiences cooking for someone else. I made moussaka around the same era and it was equally a success. Thinking back, I'm sure I must have gotten both recipes from my mother's copy of Julia Child's cookbook. No internet back then and "foreign" recipes were hard to come by.

[@ericmgarrison]

The artisanal version of Clafoutis does not require you to pit the cherries but rather leave the stones in. This imparts an almond flavor because cherries and other stone fruits are in the almond family. If you want to replicate this taste without making a desert that could damage your teeth, add a few drops of amaretto to the cherries as they macerate. This is very nice with the crème anglaise that you learned how to make! Jamie, job well done!!!!!

[@jesusgamboa9899]

Or you could add some almond extract as well.

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

I just wrote the same thing, but I did not know about the amaretto hack. I know almond extract is all wrong…🤗🤗🤗

[@anenglishlife7210]

I ate cherry clafoutis for the first time in 1981 on a French exchange to Paris. I was 15 years old and I thought it was the most delicious pudding in the world .

[@afma4]

I've stumbled across this channel a couple days ago and i've been enjoying this series so much, i've already binged half of Jamie & Julia and i'm really sad that the playlist is coming to an end.. Thank you for keeping me company the last couple of days i rly needed to cheer up.. The life of Julia child is fascinating, and you honouring her legacy is amazing, keeping her alive in a way! Keep up the great work, can't wait for more videos!

[@snugglebugglewoowoo]

Hi there. I hope you are thoroughly good now! Did you watch the series Julia? With the British actress Sarah Lancaster playing Julia? Although it invents a couple of characters, it's a lovely series about her life and the beginning of her TV journey. Much love from the UK xx

[@afma4]

Thank you so much for the recommendation, i didn't even knew they made a series! I'll make sure to check it out! Best wishes from Portugal!@@snugglebugglewoowoo

[@MHarenArt]

OMG. All these recipes you're doing! They are all taking me back to my childhood! I had no idea they were all Julia's recipes - my Mother made so many of these recipes when we were kids!! Mom made a peach clafouti! YUM!

[@MW-rq5uc]

I believe Julia would be cheering you on, laughing all the way. That is a compliment.

[@russ5024]

I ate my first Cherry Clafouti while in a Pastry Shop during a short stay in Paris, France! I was delighted to find this recipe in Julia''s and James Beard's cookbooks.

[@glitchvomit]

You blowing the cherry pit out of the straw had me laughing!

[@Anjel1e]

I've pit cherry for my mom with her cherry device; the straw method looked so much less messy. I want to try this one day.

[@TokyoBlue587]

Anything with cherries and brandy is going to be good

[@pennygreenler4351]

love your show, making Julia totally approachable...I have 5 favorites that I will only make using her recipes. She has so many layers of flavor that you can't get with other recipes/chefs. Your presentation style is very comforting... gonna watch all your posts.

[@mellie4174]

This recipe works really well gluten free too. I've done it and it's great!

[@TSeeker1]

Did you use 1:1 flour? I'm new to GF, and haven't been too impressive in the GF baking dept.!😅

You made my day! Life feels magical when you post a new video Thanks !

[@antichef]

Aw thanks Christina! Appreciate the kind words

[@ForceFreeTrainergirl06]

My mother was making batter in the 50s and 60s and she didn't possess a blender or a food mixer. Put all the incredients in a bowl and beat with a wooden spoon, or a fork, or a whisk. Same thing. She used to make what she called "apple batter" which was eating apples, sliced, laid in the bottom of a pan, pour batter over them and bake in the oven. Same thing. Except without half a pound of sugar! There's way too much sugar in the clafoutis recipe.

[@DavidStanica]

Amazing energy, man! I hope you make it to the tops of KZbin! Real pro! Happy to catch you early, when the channel's still young!

[@DavidStanica]

[@lama-chan]

I have made this some time last year, it tasted like a dense crepe, so I really liked it!

[@YoKeenVIII]

You are such an inspiration to act, Jamie! I am baking it in the oven at the moment! The smell is amazing! The cherries are waiting for their turn in the refrigerator, thou. I am making one with apples, green and red mixed together, with a touch of nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger powder, and lemon juice. Also, I used a trick I learned from America's test kitchen video to fry the apples a bit on butter in a pan before baking the pastry. It does magic with the caramelization and evaporation of the excess juice before baking. The trick of frying the first layer on the stove before adding the fruits is brilliant.

[@AxelQC]

I had French people make this for me when I lived there, but I never knew the name. It's so good.

[@kennethkauzlaric8948]

I have made this and it is the simplest and most delicious dessert or brunch item. I have also used blackberries and strawberries, I think blueberries would be great. I'm glad you finally found an easy recipe!

[@antichef]

A couple days after this video, I made this with blueberries! It was just as tasty!

[@sundoesshine8583]

Raspberries are amazing in it, the entire batter takes on the taste unlike other fruits where you just get the chunk of fruit.

[@colleenloffredo7895]

Made it! It was amazing and my husband went nuts over this!!!

[@0bzen22]

Clafoutis, and a glass of cold milk at the end of a summer's day. Good memories.

[@etienne8110]

Ideally you want to use more acidic cherries to balance the sweetness of your apparel. Montmorency cherries are the best ones for clafoutis, plus they have more of a vibrant red colour.

[@pierrefireball2505]

I made many of her recipes and have enjoyed them so much. One of the complicated ones was the "cold baked roast of filet mignon." The sauce that goes with it was Diabolo. Which took hours too. But dear gosh, every time I do this, my guests and family always take seconds servings. I always buy 2 or 3 kilos, and I barely have left over. It is delicious and worth all the time it needs to be done. My younger brother hates meat cooked rare, but these 2 helpings, and if he sees leftovers, he takes home the rest.

[@tburbank1]

I love this series and I’ve told friends and family to watch .

[@cinemasenses]

Holy moly & mama mia that looks incredible, AntiChef Jamie. Have you made it since? It certainly isn’t cherry season (mid-January as I write) but you better believe I’m going to remember this next time freshly picked cherries hit my local grocery store. I was drooling watching you pull that out of the oven

[@sazji]

Clafoutis is amazing, and the ease of making it just makes it that much better. So satisfying! Also, try it with purple plums in season. I don't know if it's authentic but it's effin' awesome.

[@jentherock]

Using any stone fruit is authentic!

[@mellie4174]

Yes. I live in france and they use any stone fruit. Ive seen strawberry too. But rarely.

[@loridiveglia565]

I have wanted to try to make clafoutis for a while and I have a bunch of cherries in the fridge…think I’m gonna do it!! Oh and Jamie, you’re cherry pitting technique is INSPIRED!!!😂 😂😂 So much fun to watch your videos.

It’s seriously foolproof. I’ve made it a few times since. I tried using blueberries for one and it was just as good!

[@Ninsuka]

French guy here. I have always heard that you are not supposed to take the pit out of the cherry, but instead to cook the cake with it. Grandmas tell it's supposed to give flavor but I don't know if this works for real. And when we eat it we just spit the pits hahaha! And we also cook it in a pastry shell like a "tarte", or a pie for you (but not with pastry above the custard, just around and under).

[@Lady-Lilith]

Clafoutis and flaugnarde are some of the simplest and delicious ways to cook up an abundance of fruit. It's very much like a crepe batter, but baked. I find using a chopstick easy for removing cherry pits.

[@verolang4039]

hello ! an advice from France: leave the pit on the cherries, it's more tasty ! but be careful whent you eat ! the same when we do the clafoutis with "mirabelles". this recipe can be made with apples, bears etc

[@jackiemanderson9053]

I'm going to buy some cherries and a straw this weekend. Thanks Jamie!

[@antichef]

That’s what I like to hear!

[@trophybuckle3235]

Blender in (Mexican) Spanish is “licuadora,” so I love the English-ified “liquidizer” 🖤😆

[@chellelaw667]

I always bake it with the cherry pits still inside the cherries. It’s not hard to just spit it out lol 😂. I also use a stick blender, so I don’t have to wash the big blender. However, I WILL be using brandy in my future clafoutis creation.

[@WellWoopdidoo]

Oh man, I’ve made one of these before. No blender, just threw in all the fruit I had. I really liked the grapes, my partner preferred the raspberries, but we had cherries and blueberries, I think plums too. Great stuff.

Jamie for the win! Nicely done! Wondering if the brandy/cognac made any difference?

I found it did, it added a little extra sweetness to the cherries. It’s a perfect pairing. One thing I’ve learned through all this, whenever Julia recommends to add cognac/brandy, I do it.

[@user-sr4vo3ot2x]

I learned how to cook from Julia’s first volume! Not intestinal, lol!

[@Hollis_has_questions]

Since all I have is frozen fruit, I’ll take either blueberries or raspberries or strawberries, set them out in a bowl, sprinkle some sugar and sticky balsamic vinegar over, mix it up and let it macerate until the fruit has thawed and exuded its sweet and tangy juices. That should work just fine.

[@projectkj7643]

One of my favourite easy desserts! yum

[@antichef]

Same!!

[@jesusgamboa9899]

Cherry Clafoutis is one of my favorite desserts because it's easy to make, not overly sweet, and because it is very versatile regarding the fruit fillings. I don't usually add liqueur to the cherries, but I do use a tiny bit of almond extract in lieu of the kirsch and cherry pits (let's face it, the pits do provide a good flavor to the dessert but the choking hazard is too great for me to leave the pits). I also add 3/4 cup of heavy cream, 2 whole eggs, and two egg yolks for a richer batter. I know it seems decadent and fattening, but it's worth it as long as you don't make it too often. I also prefer to eat it plain (no icing sugar on top - I'm diabetic) and cold. It also tastes good warm, though.

[@sph888]

America's Test Kitchen suggests adding 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to your pitted cherries to recreate the flavor you get from the cherry pits. I figured they spent around 100k to come up with that so I just go with it.

[@jesusgamboa9899]

@@sph888 I'll stick with the almond extract or amaretto. I've made the original unpitted version before, and I detect no cinnamon flavor.
