I wanted to try this recipe because I was interested to see how the flavours would work together and I already had all the ingredients in my store cupboard. Well, the flavours do go together well and the brandied fruits were good too, but for some reason my clafloutis turned out more 'cakey' than I was expecting. Perhaps this was because I didn't use any melted butter. It's listed in the ingredients but doesn't seem to have a corresponding instruction. If you want to make this pudding a bit more 'boozy' :-), try serving it with with cream that has had the drained brandy whipped into it.
