Number Of Ingredients 10

Unsalted butter, for baking dish
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup dried cherries
1 large Anjou pear, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cored
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 10-inch ceramic tart dish or 9 1/2-inch pie plate. Dust with flour, and tap out excess; set aside. Put cherries in a medium bowl, and cover with boiling water by 1 inch. Let stand until plump, about 10 minutes.

This recipe was a total disaster! The custard never set, and the whole thing ended up in the trash.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my clafouti didn't turn out very well. The custard was too runny, and the pears were still hard.

I found this clafouti to be a bit too sweet. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time I make it.

The custard in this clafouti was a little too runny for my taste, but the overall flavor was still good.

This was my first time making clafouti, and I was really happy with how it turned out. The custard was smooth and creamy, and the pears and cherries added a nice sweetness and tartness. I'll definitely be making this again.
