Slice your unpeeled peaches into thin wedges ~ about 8 ~12 per peach. If your peaches are not real sweet, sprinkle a little granulated sugar over the peaches. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
Prepare your baking dish with softened unsalted butter.
Place the sliced peaches in the prepared dish in a circle formation.
The Clafouti Batter
In a blender or food processor, combine the flour, 1 ¼ cups of the cream, the sugar, the eggs, and the salt. Process until mixed, about 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the blender jar. Blend again until no dry pockets of batter are visible.
Pour the batter over the peaches in the dish.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the batter.
Bake the Peach Clafouti on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 25 ~ 30 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
Transfer the dish to a cooling rack and let cool for 15 minutes.
Spoon into individual serving bowls.
Sweetened Whipped Cream
In a mixed or with an immersion blender, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream just until soft peaks begin to form. Add the confectioner's sugar and vanilla. Whip again for a few seconds.
Notes
