French Clafoutis Recipe 🇫🇷

Happy Bastille Day everyone!

From what I’ve heard, calories from French food don’t count today, so it really is the day to stuff yourself silly with croissants and bread and cheese and all things good and buttery!

I’ve had my fare share of all those things this weekend (early celebrations still count, right?), but I’ve taken advantage of the beautiful cherries that seem to be popping up on every market lately and made a classic French clafoutis to make today a little bit more special…

I mean, I’m already missing out on the Bank holiday and the fireworks, so obviously, I should at least have some cake (and so should you!). 🇫🇷 French clafoutis (serves 6-8 people)

Ingredients:

65g self-raising flour

4 eggs

70g honey

120 mL milk

115g double cream/crème fraîche

1/2 punnet of cherries

Procedure:

1. Preheat your oven at 180°C

2. Mix all the ingredients together in the same order as above.

3. Butter & flour your cake tin (I used a small oven tray)

4. Bake for 30-40 min.

5. Let cool down completely before serving.

What’s your favourite French recipe? Do you celebrate Bastille Day?

My grandma always makes something similar to this but instead of cherries she uses rhubarb.

  Cherries are so gorgeours at the moment I actually have to refrain myself from baking this over and over again!
