kcalIngredients
1 ½ cups rhubarb, chopped into small pieces
â…“ cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
½ cup buttermilk
½ cup whole milk
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
Butter (for greasing)
Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet with butter.
- Toss the rhubarb with 1 tablespoon of sugar and let it sit for 10 minutes to release juices.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add flour, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and evenly distribute the rhubarb on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is set and lightly golden on top.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired.
- Serve warm or chilled, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For extra caramelization, roast the rhubarb with sugar before adding it to the batter.
- The clafoutis will puff up during baking but settle as it cools—this is normal.
