What does this mean?

This is a recipe that comes from a lovely cooking book "Les Recettes Traditionelles de nos Grand-Mares", a lovely compilation of all sorts of recipes gleaned from elderly ladies in France's countryside. It's the closest I think I could get to the real thing without actually going there and asking for myself. This recipe is sweeter than my "Basic Clafoutis" but I like it lots better: it's richer... Greedy me!

Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • 500 grams fruit (whole - for cherries this means you haven't taken out the stone yet)
  • 10 tablespoons icing sugar
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar (8-10 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons plain flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 125 grams creme fraiche

Method

  1. Mix all the ingredients (except the fruit) until you have a smooth batter
  2. Butter an ovenproof dish that is large enough so all the fruit fits snugly, in a single layer
  3. Pour over the batter
  4. Bake in a hot oven (I use mine preheated at 225°C) for 30 minutes
  5. Sprinkle with sugar
  6. Leave in the dish to serve, either lukewarm or cold.
