Cherry Clafoutis

Never heard of clafoutis, but the pic on Serious Eats looked so good, I couldn't resist. I did not use the egg for this, but it would be easy enough... 50 minutes indirect at 350°. 

Desserts are tough for me because of my dietary restrictions. This one has some butter in it, but sodium level is good so I had to try. The crust wasn't crispy/flaky like a normal pie crust, unfortunately. Wasn't like a cake either. It tasted great though, just a little soft. I had some while it was still warm. Looking forward to trying it after it is room temp and then, I'll refrigerate and try it that way. A very simple recipe. I even made scratch whipped cream. :)

    Thanks for posting this.  I had seen the reference on Serious Eats, and book marked it to try.

    Thanks, guys. It was pretty tasty. And you won't find a simpler recipe.

    Zite turned up that SE post for me, too. There's another recipe in the Cooks Illustrated that just showed up yesterday. That one doesn't mention adding Kirschwasser, though, so it can't be as good. ;-)

    Great timing, cherries are just about ready....I think these are best warm, they settle a bit when cold. Don't think it is right but we always called them cherry flans, I think it is a flan type batter. Have bookmarked the recipe, thanks. 
    BTW - do you use a whipping syphon for the "scratch" whip cream? They are great.

    That looks like deep dish cherry pizza.  I would like to try it with blueberries.

    Skiddy, I've never heard of a whipping syphon so no, I didn't use one.  Sometimes I use a mixer, but for this, I just used a whisk. Doesn't take long.

    Was still nice and whipped creamy this morning too.

    This one looks better, :) Put together a bit differently, assorted fruits (frozen before adding). Shorter bake time too. Plus, the guy is French. =)

    Cook's Illustrated did one of their make overs for this dish in this month's issue.  Seems to be the season for cherry clafouti.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.
