Recipe of the Week: Peach Clafouti

http://cdn.taste.com.au/images/recipes/sfi/2007/09/17585.jpg

This is another dessert from the kitchen of my Father-in-Law.  It is actually similar to the Backofenschlufer, but it has peaches.  And it is a little lighter.  For the record, it is pronounced klah-foo-tee (that being said, you are welcome to make up silly variations, like my husband does; he calls it klow-footy).  This recipe is from MarthaSewart.com


Ingredients
5 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/4 pounds peaches, halved, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch slices (4 1/2 cups)
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting


Directions
Preheat oven to 375°
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and flour until combined.  Add sour 
cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt and whisk to combine.  Pour 
mixture into four 2-cup baking dishes or a 3 quart baking dish.  Scatter 
peaches in a single layer in batter.  Bake until custard is browned and edges 
and center is set, 30 minutes.  Let cool slightly.  Serve warm, dusted with 
confectioners' sugar.
