CHERRY CLAFOUTI (FRENCH CHERRY CUSTARD CAKE)
This "custard cake" is simply an oven baked "pancake" so it is also wonderful for breakfast as well as dessert! This "cake can also be made with blueberries, raspberries, peaches or apricots.. so don't be afraid to experiment with your favourite summer fruit. I would also sprinkle "Juicy" fruit with a couple of tablespoons of plain flour to absorb the juice. This dessert may also be made with harder fruit, such as apples, though I saute apple slices in a bit of butter first. This may be served hot, or cold, but is traditionally served lukewarm. Upon seeing the review below, I realized the short coming of this recipe (the original never stated a pan size when I received it) That being the case, I must state that the recipe is for 6 servings only, and the cook must be careful of not using too large a pan or the results will be quite different than intended.
