This week’s word is: clafoutis (noun). Please choose the most appropriate definition for a clafoutis. (No cheating!)
a.) a type of mushroom typically used in Italian cuisine in pasta dishes or on pizzas, etc.

Really, I said no cheating!
The word is pronounced: klah-foo-tee
If you chose d.) a custard-like baked French dessert that is made by baking fresh fruit and batter in a baking dish, then you are correct!
The above warm raspberry and nectarine clafoutis is from “What’s For Lunch Honey”. Clafoutis can be made from any fruit: berries, citrus, apples, you name it. You can also add nuts and make a Warm Almond Raspberry Clafoutis with Vanilla Ice Cream. The choices are truly endless and delicious no matter what goes in it!
