    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.
    Remember to always check the label of each ingredient to ensure it is gluten free.
