Strawberry Clafouti
Easy, French, Comfort Food! The batter is much like a crepe mixture and is simply poured over berries and baked until puffed and golden brown. As the berries rise to the top, the bottom layer is in between a cake and custard. I used two, 16 ounce ramekins, but you could also use a baking dish or cast iron pan. Put a sheet of tin foil underneath your baking dish(es) in case the juices from the berries bubble over (so you don’t have to clean your oven). In addition to dusting the Clafouti with powdered sugar you can add whipped cream, ice cream, crème fraiche, Reddi-wip®, you name it!
