Claflouti may sounds like a fancy dish but in reality it couldn't be more simple to make! A classic French dessert, clafouti is made by pouring a sweet batter, similar to crepe batter, over fresh fruit and baking it slowly. The eggy batter then bakes around the fruit, creating a light, almost pudding or custard-like texture. This dessert really is one of the easiest to whip up! It's made with just a handful of staple ingredients you likely have in your fridge and pantry right now including sugar, eggs, milk, flour, salt and butter, plus whatever fruit you'd like to add to it. In this recipe, we used our in-season sweet cherries from Warner's Farms. The sweet and tart cherries adds a beautiful pop of flavour and are the perfect contrast to the rich custard batter.
