Clafoutis is a French dessert that most closely resembles a giant fruit pancake. The traditional clafoutis is made with cherries, but almost any berry can be substituted. This recipe uses blueberries, but don't feel constrained.

Makes 8 servings

4 cups blueberries
1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange liqueur
1 cup nonfat milk (approximately)
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sifted all-purpose flour
Powdered sugar for dusting

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
Combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and liqueur and soak for at least 1 hour but preferable overnight.
Drain the berries and add enough milk to the liquid to make 1 1/4 cups. Using a blender or a food processor, process the milk mixture, 1/3 cup sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, and flour until well blended.
Spread the berries into the pie plate and pour the batter over the top. Bake until the clafoutis springs back to the touch, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm.
