Serving Suggestions From My Table
I enjoy serving this clafoutis warm, right out of the oven. You can pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence. For a lovely presentation, add fresh mint leaves as a garnish.
Getting It Just Right
The key to a successful clafoutis is to ensure the batter is smooth, with no lumps. Make sure to evenly distribute the fruits in the dish so every bite has a bit of berry goodness. Keep an eye on the baking time; it should be golden brown and puffed up when done.
How to Store Leftovers
If you have leftovers, I recommend storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. You can reheat individual slices in the microwave for a quick treat.
