Strawberry clafoutis recipe

Our strawberry clafoutis recipe takes just 10mins to prep and has three easy steps in the method.

Top tips for making strawberry clafoutis:

• 
  
• Cherries are the classic berry cooked into a clafoutis. Swap the strawberries for cherries, or even better try a mix of your favourite summer berries.
• 
  
• Use thawed frozen berries when they are no longer in season
• 
  
• We've served the clafoutis with half fat creme Fraiche but ice cream, clotted cream or custard all make delicious, indulgent alternatives
