Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 tbsp Amaretto
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup flour
• 15 whole figs, cut in half
• 1 cup slivered almonds
• 6 tbsp sugar
• butter for greasing pans

Instructions

• Generously butter your ramekins or mini skillets. Can be made as 1 large dessert by buttering an 8-cup baking dish.
• Preheat oven to 350'
• In a blender, combine milk, sugar, eggs, Amaretto, flour, and salt and blend
• Pour 1/2 of the mixture into your prepared baking dish and set remaining mixture aside
• Bake for 8 minutes if using small dishes or 10 minutes if using the larger dish until just slightly set but not baked through.
• Leave oven on, but remove the clafoutis
• Place figs cut side down on top of the partially baked custard
• Pour remaining batter over the figs and return to oven.
• Bake for 25-30 additional minutes (30-40 if using larger baking dish) until the clafouti is puffed and golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Sprinkle with candied almonds and serve warm

For Candied Almonds

• Add almonds and sugar to a heavy pan (I use my cast iron skillet and it's perfect) and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar melts and caramelizes.
• Remove from skillet and place on parchment paper for at least one hour...separating large clumps.
