Thanks Marilyn. friends of mine came to the house with their kids a few weeks ago and we improvised a little French Cooking cooking class with the kids. where they had to make a clafoutis using the video (to see if genuinely anyone could make the recipe). and I am glad to report that they did a very good job and a delicious clafoutis. :o) I will try to add a downloadable pdf recipe as well, so that everyone can print it out and use it while preparing the dish. see you soon.
Thank you Stephane. I made this tonight and it came out perfect. My husband called it the perfect dessert.

One of our favourites. I usually rinse the vanilla pod and either put in some milk to flavour or snip into 3 parts and leave in a container of caster sugar to infuse. You can continue to top the caster sugar for years.
Awesome to see you picked my suggestion! Great recipe!

Real french dessert by a real french chef. I thought to make this dessert you need heavy bottom dish but glad to know that even this type of pie dish can also be used.

Looking at this video again, soon, my tart cherry tree will bud, be in bloom, Cherry season is in late May to early June in Chicago! I love to get the cherries off of my tree and always leave a few for the birds and squirrels. I also have 5 columnar apple trees, 2 crabapple trees (they pollinate my apples), an elderberry tree, 3 different kinds of currant bushes, blueberry bush in another part of the yard, a stanley (european) plum tree out in front with the cherry, and a white-skinned peach tree. I said if I had to plant a tree or a bush, son of a gun, it was going to feed me.....

Hello, I'm really enjoying your channel. I wondered about using frozen blueberries (kind of taboo I know and not preferable but in a pinch maybe? I saw your comment below about liquid and blueberries so I think it's doubtful) And, what brandy or liquor would you use with blueberries or other fruits - does it need to match exactly? Thank you!
@FrenchCookingAcademy

weathersbk the liquor should ideally match the fruit but you can try with plain liquor. regarding blueberries i think it should work fine but in term of looks chances are it will all turn blueish but hey for home you can do whatever you like😀🙂 let me know how you go if you try

It turned out good! I used fresh blueberries and Chambord for the liquor. It was really buttery tasting and not too sweet for which I was glad. I think next time I'll cut the fruit down by half maybe - there was a lot. It tasted really great. I cooked it longer.

I don’t think so.
8:09...yes it is...😋
Everyone does it a little different.. I prefer a shallow dish...less than 1" high...more like 3/4"... For a couple reasons at least.. First, it cooks more evenly...higher sides means it cooks slower in the center...not good... Second, for presentation...like a pizza...the fruit should "stand out"... I like to chill and slice...serve with a mint or a lemon topping...

I made one with apple. It turned out the same as yours, however I didn’t like it. It was way too eggy and not dense at all. Would adding more flour make it denser??
@aidanclarke6106
4 жыл бұрын
Adding more flour will turn it into a dense sponge (I've been there 😂) so I don't think it is the answer here. However, the fruits are important to counter-balance the eggyness of the clafoutis. Apples are usually not tart enough but cherries or apricots are.
@lucasa1849

Aidan Clarke . I relized later that it is the fruit. You need something tart to combat the eggyness. And just 20g more flour made it just a little better in texture for me. But yeah, tart fruit does the trick.

The recipe is similar to a bread-pudding, but without the dried bread. Bread-pudding without the fruit is French-toast. The batter without anything is a crepe.

you can just not add the liquor just use the natural juice of the cherries and the sugar it will work fine
Just a head's up, when you draw out the juice of berries with the sugar, it is called "macerating" (ma-sir-rate-ing) them. Marinating is usually only said for vegetables or meats and refers to imparting flavor into them via the marinade :) Great video!

Hi Rohit, yes of course you can and if you like you can skip the cherries altogether and use other fresh fruits
I'd skip the powdered sugar on top. I always hate it on anything and usually what I do is shake it off with a paper napkin. It covers the true flavor of the dessert. This would go nicely with a scoop of ice cream next to it .
So its a fruit pudding?
try almond flour,

i really really loveee your channel! But unfortunately this dish was way too soft for me. Almost like a pudding :( i remember clafoutis as a cake. But still very tasty 😇
We tried this, but must have missed something. Just came out like an egg dish like a frittata.
It's taste like baked scrambled eggs from point of view...Something went wrong...
Bonjour, désolé mais ceci n'est pas la recette du clafoutis limousin français... Sorry but that is not the authentic recipe of the french clafoutis.
ugh, no. I hate desserts
