edyth Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Why do all my clafoutis turn out different? We have started to call all such efforts "clafouti surprise" as I never know what they will be like.Most are edible - but some are horrible and the some are quite nice. I have even had one delicious.Is it the flour, the oven temperature or what?An idiot-proof recipe would be much appreciated. I tried a search but kept getting "timed out" messages and a page of code.Many thanks to any advice. I expect TU will be an expert so am awaiting replies with ingredients at the ready.Edith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Ah dear. We were given a clafoutis a couple of weekends ago when we are invited out. It was edible. Sorry Edyth but I have never had one that was any more than edible. And me left thinking what a waste of time, ingredients and fruit as I always do, added to which the hostess told us that she hadn't taken the stones out of the cherries. I have never got away with either a 'flan' or clafoutis I'm afraid. And have never had a desire to bake either of them. Good luck, hope that someone can give you an idea or recipe that pleases you.

In fact, I've made it several times since!Not heavy and brick-like, as some can be, be light and luscious, as they should always be!Clair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo53 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Mine always turn out like a cherry omlette I have followed various recipes and always too eggy. Next time I am going to make it more like a pancake batter. I have to keep trying, as we have 5 hens and a very productive cherry tree; waste not want not and all that.Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
