Mini Blueberry Clafoutis

Clafoutis (kla-foo-TEE) is defined as a rustic French dessert made by baking fruit, usually cherries, in a custard-like batter.  I didn't have any cherries in the house, but I had beautiful blueberries that came out of my CSA Box.  Blueberries happen to be my favorite berry to bake with and I didn't have enough for a pie so I decided to make mini blueberry clafoutis. They were absolutely delicious.

Clafoutis will puff up in the oven, but don't be alarmed when it falls while cooling - that's exactly what it's supposed to do.  Enjoy!
