APPLE OR PEAR CLAFOUTI (AN EASY FRENCH DESSERT)
I'd never heard of this dessert until I ate it in a small hotel at the foot of the French Pyrenees. I came back home and was able to find this recipe on the internet-- I believe a French cuisine website, but the name escapes me. Quick, easy, and yummy, too. Preparation time includes resting time.

CHERRY CLAFOUTI (FRENCH CHERRY CUSTARD CAKE)
This "custard cake" is simply an oven baked "pancake" so it is also wonderful for breakfast as well as dessert! This "cake can also be made with blueberries, raspberries, peaches or apricots.. so don't be afraid to experiment with your favourite summer fruit. I would also sprinkle "Juicy" fruit with a couple of tablespoons of plain flour to absorb the juice. This dessert may also be made with harder fruit, such as apples, though I saute apple slices in a bit of butter first. This may be served hot, or cold, but is traditionally served lukewarm. Upon seeing the review below, I realized the short coming of this recipe (the original never stated a pan size when I received it) That being the case, I must state that the recipe is for 6 servings only, and the cook must be careful of not using too large a pan or the results will be quite different than intended.

FRENCH CHERRY CLAFOUTI PUDDING - FRENCH CHERRY CUSTARD BAKE
A delicious and easy traditional French pudding; Clafoutis or Clafouti is basically a custard/pancake batter type pudding which is usually baked with fruit. Most seasonal fruits other than cherries work well - such as apricots, raspberries, blackberries etc. I make it with either fresh cherries or with bottled/tinned cherries. I try to bottle some every year, picked from the cherry trees in the garden and put them in Kirsch or Cognac! Serve with creme fraiche or cream & garnish with a cherry on top with some of the reserved liqueur.

FRENCH CLAFOUTI
I couldn't find my recipe card for clafouti so I decided to look on rzaar, and was surprised with my results. Most of the recipes posted use very little milk and a lot of flour. My grandma is parisian, and this is her recipe for clafouti, it uses a fair amount of milk and little flour. We usually eat it for breakfast because it's pretty healthy (we use low fat milk). You can either use fresh or canned sliced fruit, bing cherries, reconstituted dried fruit, sliced apples, as long as it's not too acidic (pineapple and oranges would not work) I almost always use canned peaches. Sometimes if we really want this to make a hearty breakfast we add a couple more eggs. This isn't very sweet, so add more sugar if you prefer.
