Clafoutis is a traditional French dessert that originated in the Limousin region. It is made by baking a custard-like batter over fresh fruit, typically cherries, although other fruits like plums or peaches can also be used. The dish is known for its simple preparation and delightful combination of flavors. The batter consists of eggs, milk, sugar, and flour, creating a smooth texture that complements the fruit. Once baked, Clafoutis has a slightly firm yet tender consistency, resembling a cross between a cake and a flan. It is often served warm, dusted with powdered sugar, making it a popular choice for dessert or brunch.
