Tips
- Clafoutis is a traditional French recipe made by baking fruit into a batter to produce a custard-like dessert. The name comes from the word clafotis which means "to fill up" referring to the batter, which is full of delicious fruit.
- To turn this into a delicious gluten free treat, simply replace the wholemeal plain flour with gluten free plain flour, and be sure to choose gluten free corn flour.
