Clafoutis

Clafoutis is a Limousin dessert in which cherries are covered with a batter of flour, milk, sugar and eggs, then baked. The mixture sets around the fruit with a flan-like texture. Black cherries are a usual choice, and the fruit can be left whole or pitted.[1][2]

Adaptations use other fruits, including apricots, mangoes and plums, or add sliced almonds. In Limousin, a related preparation with apples or pears is called flognarde. Clafoutis can be finished with a sprinkling of sugar.[1][2]
