Clafoutis
(Pronounced as cla-foo-tiss)
Clafoutis is a custard-like baked French dessert that is typically made by baking fresh fruit (traditionally cherries) and a batter,somewhat similar to pancake batter,in a baking dish. When other kinds of fruit,such as plums,apples,cranberries or blackberries are used instead of cherries,the dish is called a ‘flognarde’. Originally from Limousin,the dish’s name comes from the French verb,clafir,which means “to fill up”. Clafoutis apparently spread throughout France during the 19th century.
