That looks delicious ML have taken the recipe having friends from essex coming to stay in a couple of weeks time so i am going to make this for them.When they ask i will tell them i got the recipe from the south of france, Thanks.
Mona lisa i forgot to ask you ,what do you serve it with or do you just have it on its own.can you suggest what to serve it with or have you got a recipe for something unusual to go with it, thanks
I first came across clafoutis in Joanne Harris' book Blackberry Wine- loads of excellent recipes there.
Rosa ...It's rather nice warm with a spoonful of vanilla ice cream melting over it .... or I sometimes serve it with creme fraiche .... it's really good enough on it's own, it depends how 'naughty' you want to be ! :D M-L
Palustris, it is still good without the alcohol. You could use soya milk, is there an egg equivalent? It's so nice I hate to think of you going without! :(
