clafoutis


yet another scrumptious, easy, gorgeous
dish from the fabulous tracy porter.
it would be perfection on new year's day.

:: clafoutis ::
{say clah-foo-TEE}

{raspberry-peach clafoutis}

i have made this french custard-y dessert
in every season.
it works beautifully 
whether you use fresh or frozen fruit.
i've made it with
~cherries~
~marianberries~
~peaches~
~plums~
~raspberries~
and even sans fruit.

most often,
i make it at night to eat for breakfast.
it is perfect with a cup of tea or mug of coffee.

☼happy new year!☼

  2. I have made this several times...it is very rich. I usually use cherries. When you left the fruit out did you add something else in it's place?

  3. dianne ~ i left the fruit out for emily {who only likes apples}. i just made the batter - nothing else. it was like a "dutch baby" giant pancake that my mom used to make. without the fruit, it puffs up really big, then deflates when you take it out of the oven. ♥
