Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
A clafoutis is a French baked dish that has a texture somewhere between a custard and a cake that is usually topped with a layer of fruit before baking. The most commonly used fruit seems to be cherries, but my favorite is a Pear Clafoutis. It also seems to be the favorite of Jennifer, the Domestic Goddess, who made this particular example of the treat. Aside from the flavor, which is laced with cinnamon, maple and vanilla, the really wonderful thing about this dish is the fruit itself. The pears are peeled and sliced into thin, horizontal segments that are fanned out across the baking dish and topped with the clafoutis batter. The overall look is extremely elegant and, aside from taking a few minutes to prepare the pears, the dish takes almost no time at all. It is idea for serving to guests, either warm or at room temperature, and makes a fantastic breakfast the next day.
You can find Jennifer's recipe here. For a somewhat lighter version of the same dish, you could try this recipe, too. Either will turn out a delightful, fall-inspired dish.
