When beating such a small amount of egg white (you only need one) to soft peaks, it’s easy to do by hand. Just place the white in a medium bowl, and beat vigorously with a whisk; it should take about a minute.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries
- 2.25 ounces (about 1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon orange liqueur
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 large egg white, beaten to soft peaks
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup chopped peeled ripe Anjou pear
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 ounce crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°.
Step 2
Place cranberries in a small bowl; cover with boiling water. Let stand 10 minutes; drain.
Step 3
Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
Step 4
Whisk together milk, cream, liqueur, 2 eggs, and 1 yolk.
Step 5
Gradually sift flour mixture into milk mixture, whisking until smooth. Fold in egg white. Set aside.
Step 6
Heat a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter; swirl until butter melts. Add pear; sauté 3 minutes.
Step 7
Remove skillet from heat. Pour batter evenly over fruit mixture.
Step 8
Bake at 400° for 14 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in center comes out mostly clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Garnish warm clafoutis with powdered sugar, blue cheese, and walnuts.
