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.
Here they are, ready to go in the oven.
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!
