Can I use other fruit to make French clafoutis?
Absolutely!
I had fresh from the farmers market blueberries, so I thought it was the perfect way to use them.
The traditional recipe calls for unpitted cherries, but other fruit variations such as peach, plums, strawberries or blackberries would all make a wonderful clafoutis.
Can I make gluten-free clafoutis?
Yes, you can!
I’ve tested this French blueberry clafoutis with gluten-free flour and rice flour (if you’re in the UK look for Dove gluten-free flour or rice flour) and the result was pretty much the same as using all-purpose flour.
