Some time, some place, somewhere, someone is saying “khla -foo-tee”
over and over and over again… a moment ago that was me, in London, in my
kitchen– I make no excuses for the rest of those people, but I was
simply perfecting its pronunciation. When it’s not London orientated
it’s a thing to learn, I’m terrible with accents, in fact everything I
ever attempt to pronounce in another tongue seems to always roll out
American, or my version of. Not very impressive for a writing
enthusiast but if it can be learned then it can be mastered to
precision.
So this looks (modestly) amazing right? It only calls for a few of
those cupboard essentials and a few fresh produce to make it taste the
masterpiece that it is, and in this case looks are not one bit deceiving
because it looks just as good as it tastes. These lovely little blue
dollops make the heart of this recipe with the remaining ingredients
making it beat erratically. Luckily for those who aren’t the baking
powder or cookery keeper, this recipe will call out your on-a-whim
baking, and simply raid your condiments for some flour and sugar, topped
off with blueberries, milk and eggs. Its actually that simple and takes
less than 10 minutes to put together before cooking, perfect for dinner
parties.
I made this for no special occasion, but when you see it, and sample
(inhale) it, you can see the appeal. It’s lovely golden brown top slices
into a lovely juicy burst of freaking good simple food. And I would
even go so far as to say that you can use ice cream on the side or even a
glass of cold milk. And the best part about using blueberries is that
when they are heated they are sensitive to bursting, so when they hit
your palette and you take that bite, they literally burst into a
gazillion drops of sweetness. Unlike a normal clafoutis made with
cherries, this one is ideal for the blueberry lover- yet I am not that, I
just like them to an appropriate degree; saying that, this is made
amazing because of the blueberries.
For those of you who do not know the clafoutis, it is a French dessert
made of fruit (typically cherries as I mentioned before) and its texture
is rather silky and flan-like, served with cream; it’s simple and it’s
full of flavour.

80g plain flour
