Orange Chocolate Clafoutis

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a 20x20cm baking dish with butter and dust with flour.

   Tip: Use a non-stick baking dish to prevent the clafoutis from sticking.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.

   Tip: Make sure to whisk until the sugar is well combined with the flour.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, orange juice, and orange zest.

   Tip: Use a whisk to emulsify the eggs and orange juice.

4. 4

   Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.

   Tip: Stir the chocolate until it is smooth and melted.

5. 5

   Add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure the chocolate is fully incorporated into the egg mixture.

6. 6

   Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.

   Tip: Do not overmix the batter.

7. 7

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

   Tip: Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly.

8. 8

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed and golden brown.

   Tip: Check the clafoutis after 20 minutes and rotate the baking dish to ensure even cooking.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

   Tip: Dust the clafoutis with confectioners' sugar before serving.

10. 10

    Serve warm, dusting with confectioners' sugar if desired.

    Tip: Serve immediately, as the clafoutis will start to deflate over time.
