SOME THINGS TO KNOW: FAQ’S 

WHAT IS BLUEBERRY CLAFOUTIS?

• Clafoutis is somewhat similar to a Dutch Baby Pancake. While the dutch baby will become puffy, the clafoutis is a cross between that and a thick custard or flan.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

• 9″ X 13″ baking pan
• Blender
• Don’t worry if you do not own a blender. You can easily mix the batter together in a food processor, or in a bowl with an electric mixer or a whisk.

SUBSTITUTIONS:

• Black cherries are another good option for clafoutis. Check out the Cherry Clafoutis recipe if you want to try it.
• Fresh peaches would also be a good substitution. You would need 2 cups of thinly sliced peaches.
• This recipe will be the best with fresh berries but if fresh blueberries are unavailable you can use some frozen blueberries.

HOW TO STORE BLUEBERRY CLAFOUTIS:

• If you are not serving this at once, it will need to be refrigerated once it cools. Make sure that it is tightly covered with wrap.
• You can keep this in the refrigerator for 2-3 days tightly covered.
• Clafoutis is best when freshly made and will not freeze well. The fresh berries and flan like consistency can become soggy when frozen.

HOW TO REHEAT BLUEBERRY CLAFOUTIS:

• If you want to reheat the clafoutis in the oven, place it into a preheated 350 degree oven, covered with foil for about 10-15 minutes until it is warmed through.
• You can also reheat The blueberry clafoutis in the microwave. Start with 20 seconds and depending on the size of what you are reheating, add additional intervals of 20 seconds until it is heated through.
