To make it accessible to whom, like me, suffers from dairy-intolerance (but careful if you have a diagnosed lactose intolerance), for this recipe I’ve swapped regular milk and used easy-to-digest fresh whole milk from a2 Milk™.
If you haven’t heard of a2 Milk™ before, it’s an award-winning brand that produces milk naturally free from the A1 milk protein, which is the one that causes many health issues to people who are dairy intolerant.
It’s no secret that I’m dairy intolerant, so I’ve been using a2 Milk™ for years, and I’m so glad it makes it possible for me to enjoy all kind of dairy treats without feeling uncomfortable.
French Blueberry Clafoutis Recipe Common Questions
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 French 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.
