Cherry clafouti

A cherry clafouti is a type of baked French dessert that typically consists of cherries (or other fruit) in a thick flan-like batter. The dish is believed to originate from the Limousin region of France, where it is known as clafoutis aux cerises.

Cherry clafouti recipes first began appearing in French cookbooks in the early 19th century. The earliest known recipe, which appeared in 1844, called for the cherries to be placed in a dough that was then fried. In the early 20th century, recipes began to appear for clafoutis that were baked in an oven.

The dish gained popularity in the United States in the 1980s, when it was featured in several cookbooks and food magazines. Today, cherry clafouti is enjoyed by home cooks and professional chefs alike.
