"Clafoutis means ‘to fill’. This baked French dessert with a flan-like batter, is a cross between a cake and a custard. Making a clafoutis is a great way to use up ripe summer fruits. Any kind of fruits like raspberries, peaches, apricots, strawberries or mangoes can be made into clafoutis. For fruits with stones like cherries, pit them before cooking. This Cherry Clafoutis looks so fancy and elegant but is really simple to put together. Serve your guests clafoutis for breakfast and dessert. Impress them with your baking skills"
