Clafoutis

This is such a simple recipe and a such pleasure to eat. You can pretty much use whichever fruits you like.

However, if you don‘t make it using cherries you have made a flaungardes not a clafoutis, but who really cares?

The classic dish keeps the stones in the cherries as these give off a subtle almond like flavour during cooking. To allow for this in my recipe I have added almond extract which given the opportunity I would add to anything sweet. But it‘s not to everyone‘s taste and can be omitted or use less.

Clafoutis are made with a batter from eggs, flour, sugar and milk, similar to a pancake really. I have adapted a recipe that fits the description and tastes as pretty damn close as your gonna get without using eggs.

Use Gluten free flour if preferred and a granulated sugar alternative of your choice, but caster does work best.

With regards to the fruit, all stone fruit works very well especially apricots and plums. Berries also make a grand alternative.
