Roasted Pear and Cinnamon Clafouti image

Clafouti is a moist, custardy, fruit-filled "pancake". It is delicious, simple to throw together, and a surefire way to impress breakfast or brunch guests. They'll think you worked much harder than you did. Try some simple substitutions with items on hand. Tart apples are excellent in lieu of the pears. From Bon Appetit
