Servings: persons

1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup flour (I use a gluten-free all-purpose flour)
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon store-bought or homemade garam masala, recipe follows
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blackberries (or any berry!)
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Whipped cream, optional
3 large cinnamon sticks (if you have the kind you get at Indian stores, it's about 3 tablespoons of cinnamon bark bits)
3 tablespoons whole cloves
1/4 cup green cardamom pods, shelled, husks discarded (about 2 tablespoons of seeds)
4 large black cardamom pods, shelled, husks discarded (about 1 tablespoon of seeds), optional

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Grease a 9-inch pie plate with the butter.
3
Dust the dish with 1 tablespoon sugar, making sure you cover the sides too!
4
I do this by holding the pie plate near-vertical and shimmying the sugar around the edge.
5
Set the pie plate aside.
6
Using a stand mixer, an electric hand-mixer or a blender, mix the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, ginger, garam masala, eggs, milk, heavy cream and vanilla and let it go until the mixture is frothy.
7
Arrange the blackberries in the bottom of the pie plate (I don't like it to look too uniform), and carefully pour the batter into the dish.
8
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, rotating the dish halfway to ensure even cooking.
9
You'll know it's done when you insert a knife into the center and it comes out clean.
10
Don't worry if certain areas puff up more than others as the clafouti cools on your counter it will even out.
11
Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with a little powdered sugar, and topped with a little whipped cream, if desired.
12
I like it just the way it is when it comes out of the oven!
13
Combine the cinnamon sticks, cloves, green cardamom seeds, black cardamom seeds, if using into a spice grinder or coffee grinder and grind until fine.
14
Store the spice mix in an airtight container away from direct sunlight.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
