Didn't want to rate this with stars because I didn't try the recipe but waned to let others know that I use a blender when making these this crustless quiche-type snacks. My recipe makes 36 mini clafoutis. It's just about the same amounts given except I use 1 c. heavy cream, 1 c. milk & 1/2 c. cornstarch. I put everything in the blender for 1 minute. This recipe would work exactly the same. I think this recipe is a good one. Just wanted to give you a tip about using the blender.

Ok so I have never made "clafouti's" before and had no point of reference as to how they were supposed to look. I made them in regular sized muffin tins as what is called for in the recipe is a "muffing" tin? I got 12 clafouti out of it. Supposedly the recipe makes 48 "muffings"? Maybe that's a typo?? Anyway, these little things are pretty darned good! I used crumbled bleu cheese and didn't add an herb at all. I can see myself playing with the flavors in this recipe too, as they'd be great for a weekend brunch with company. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
