Cranberry Clafoutis
- 3 large eggs plus 3 egg yolks
- 1 cup turbinado sugar
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored brandy
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Unsalted butter, for the baking dish
- 2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, halved
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- Combine the eggs, egg yolks, 1/2 cup turbinado sugar, the half-and-half, flour, Grand Marnier, vanilla and salt in a blender.
- Pulse until the sugar has dissolved and the batter is smooth, about 1 minute.
- Let sit at room temperature, 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Butter the bottom and side of an 11-inch ceramic tart pan or pie plate and set on a baking sheet.
- Toss the cranberries with 5 tablespoons turbinado sugar in a small bowl; spread in the bottom of the prepared tart pan.
- Bake until the mixture starts to caramelize, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F.
- Carefully pour 1 cup of the prepared batter into the hot pan and let sit 5 minutes, then pour in the remaining batter.
- Sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons turbinado sugar on top.
- Bake until puffed and almost set, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer to a rack and let cool 20 minutes.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar.
