Billington’s

Strawberry Clafoutis
Tried and tested

Strawberry Clafoutis

As easy to make as a pancake, this classic French dessert from the Limousin region involves pouring a simple batter over fresh fruit (typically cherries) and baking until puffed and golden brown. The fruit rises to the top, leaving a soft layer whose texture falls somewhere between custard and cake.  Here we have subtituted the cherries for strawberries.
