Fruit Clafoutis
A kind of thick pancakey fruit cake, that is just delicious with cream and ice cream. Great throughout winter, using tinned fruit.
I am not sure why I have to keep cycling, but this could be it. A fruity homey dessert, perfect for the cooler nights and very more-ish. Think whipped cream and ice cream to serve and use any fruit you can access. You could even go so far as to use tinned peach halves or jarred cherries.
Clafoutis (pronounced Clah-foo-tee) originated in a southern region of France and generally uses cherries, but has expanded to use all fruit, especially stone fruit, thought apples and pears are also common. Almost a pancake batter, but thick, like a Dutch baby I guess. The French version of Dutch baby, cooked without the extreme heat! Enjoy, and go hard with the fruit options. Think all berries, all stone fruit, all cored fruit. I personally think pineapple would be amazing though I am pretty sure the French would not agree!
