    Cherry clafoutis recipe

    Cherry Clafoutis

    Whilst flicking through the latest edition of delicious magazine I came across a Quince clafoutis with prune and armagnac ice cream recipe by Andy Bunn.  I've made clafoutis a number of times in the past and this recipe was quite different to the one I usually make (my tried and tested recipe comes from The Cooks Book of Everything by Lulu Grimes) so I wanted to give it a try.

    Clafoutis (pronounced klah-foo-tee)  is a traditional French dish coming from the Limousin region of France.  Clafoutis comes from the "Clafir", meaning to fill.  The dish is traditionally made with cherries (which are usually unpitted) surrounded by a batter made of eggs, milk and sugar which can vary from a thick, almost cake like batter to a custard style.

    As with any recipe I follow, I couldn't just leave the recipe as is and had to add my own elements, so I opted to make the clafoutis with some beautiful cherries I had picked up at the Brisbane Markets earlier that morning  and added the seeds of one vanilla bean to the batter.

      That looks just the ticket for a weekend lunch (or dinner!). I think the addition of vanilla bean makes a lot of sense 🙂 My recent post A Food Tour of Wellington & Cuba Street, New Zealand

      That looks fantastic. Clafoutis has been on my list of things to bake (a very long list) for ages now, but I've never gotten around to it. It looks like it would be a nice winter dessert though, so maybe I'll have to move it up the list and prioritise it. The weather is certainly getting cold enough to eat something straight out of the oven!

        Thanks Jess 🙂 This one was more cakey than the one I usually make, but delicious nonetheless. It's a lovely winter dessert and perfect served hot from the oven with some ice cream or cream.

      This clafoutis looks perfect - what a wonderful way to take advantage of summer's best offerings! I especially love sprinkling slivered almonds or chopped pistachios on my clafoutis just before popping it into the oven.
