An exquisite French classic from the Limousin region. Something of a cross between a flan and a cake. A claftouis is a rustic French baked dessert made by baking cherries in a custard-like batter similar to pancake batter.
Traditionally, a clafoutis is specifically made with black cherries, although many clafoutis variations include other fru...its such as plums, prunes, blueberries or apples. Technically, these variations should be called flaungardes, not clafoutis.
