(1 Clafoutis)
1/2 CUP MILK
1 TSP. VANILLA (OR VANILLA BEAN)
2 LARGE EGGS & 2 EGG YOLKS
1/3 GRANULATED SUGAR
1 TBS PASTRY FLOUR (OR REG. FLOUR ADDING A PINCH OF CORNFLOUR)

4. Strain through into fine meshed strainer. Strain into bowl or better a large measuring cup with spout.

ASSEMBLE
1. Partially bake tart shell in 350 oven (lightly butter the tart shell before placing pastry dough inside), bake for about 5 min.
2. Place cut fruit in a concentrical pattern in the bottom of the tart shell, place the fruit so it fills the shell tightly.
3. Pour the custard into the shell to fill the pan. Bake till custard sets, it should tremble slightly, maybe 20 minutes.
4. Remove and cool. Unmold. Serve warm, sprinkling powdered sugar over it and the plate, garnish with mint leaves, or appropriate garnish.

***Use fruits according to the season, in the Fall plums and pears that have been slightly pre-cooked are a good choice.
