NOTE : A clafoutis (pronounced ‘clafootee’) is a classic French batter pudding, a speciality of the Limousin region. Clafoutis comes from Clafir, a dialect verb meaning ‘ to fill’ . It is traditionally made with cherries. Other berries such as blueberries, raspberries , or small well-flavoured strawberries may be used. Use a shallow pie plate or the top will not turn golden brown.
