“Clafoutis” may sound fancy, but it’s really just a cross between a custard and a baked pancake. Traditionally made with cherries, this dish from the Limousin region of France bakes up to a beautiful finish, with the eggy batter nestling chunks of fresh fruit.

Since you are sending this to people in the US, can you, please, include measurements in US units?
Thanks.

Hi Philip,
We have a variety of international chefs providing recipes and we publish them with the measurements as provided by the chefs. Sometimes that will be in imperial measures and sometimes metric. We are also lucky enough to have readers on both sides of the pond!
We would recommend having some scales measures handy, alternatively if you have an Alexa device it comes in handy if you ask it to translate the ingredient and the appropriate weight into cup measures! Gram weight is always more accurate, especially when it comes to baking, as volume can vary dramatically.
Happy cooking!
