France Clafoutis (Fruit Custard)
Clafoutis is a traditional French dessert made with a batter similar to flan. It is usually filled with black cherries, but sometimes with other fruits—such as apples, plums, berries, or pears—or even with chocolate and hazelnuts. Clafoutis is dusted with powdered sugar and served warm.
