Cherry clafoutis

Love Clafoutis, my Godmother used to make it always when I visited. But I will only make it in season- when the black cherries are ripe and plentyful. For me, eating such things in season makes it so so special- and something to look forward to.

And no, not posh at all- simple peasant fare- where cherries abound. Can make it with soaked prunes too.

It's from the Limousin area where cherries are grown in abundance. The batter is soggier than English batter.

I make it with blueberries. Cherry clafoutis is one of my favourite puddings.

Never heard of cherries and batter mix either Witzend perhaps I m in the wrong part of the country is it prevalent somewhere ?
I ve not seen it on a menus or anything

Matte Tebbits recipe with white chocolate sauce is delicious.

Never heard of it it sounds very posh

Not posh at all, just a layer of cherries, with a simple batter mix on top, shove in the oven.

Never heard of it it sounds very posh

Oooh rhubarb

I love clafoutis. I make a rhubarb version too.

Some recipes I’ve seen include kirsch, but personally I prefer it without- just cherries and batter.

Mmmm j'adore 🍒
You can do it with raspberries too.

Oh my - yes please. I hadn't thought of using tinned cherries, but it's a great idea.

My mum used to make this a few years ago. Sadly she's not able anymore. I absolutely love it.

Yes. I've never called it that though when I've made it as it's a "bung it" pudding here (if I have a lot of cherries ever). Have made similar with other fruit (more often than not, plums).
Also nice with almonds and/or madeira if no kirsch or rum.
I'd have called it "cherry pudding" or similar. It would of course never be quite the same twice!

Oooh yes please!
