Plum Clafoutis

Cultural Context

Originating from the Limousin region of France, clafoutis traditionally features cherries baked in a custard-like batter. The dish is often enjoyed as a rustic dessert, celebrating seasonal fruits. While cherries are the classic choice, plums and other fruits have become popular variations, making clafoutis a beloved treat worldwide, especially in summer when fruits are ripe and abundant.
