What is a clafoutis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A clafoutis is a French dessert that hovers between custard and cake. To make a clafoutis, you'll whisk eggs, milk, flour, and sugar to form a thin batter, pour it over fruit and let it bake until set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, a clafoutis is only made with sweet black cherries, and when you make the dish with other fruit, such as blueberries or pears, the dish is technically called flaugnarde<\/a>. However, more recently, the term \"clafoutis\" is used more loosely both in France and beyond, to refer to both savory and sweet baked dishes made with this custard-like batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest appeals of a blueberry clafoutis is that it's mercifully easy to make. In addition, as a fruit-heavy dish, it requires much less sugar than comparative desserts. While making the batter is simple and baking it is a cinch, there are a few tips you can follow to make sure it comes out right each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
