the.com/clafoutis
a flan that wandered into a cherry orchard and refused to leave.
means A baked French dessert in which fruit—classically unpitted cherries—is set into a thick, pancake-like custard batter and cooked until golden and puffed.
from From the French clafoutis, rooted in the dialect of the Limousin region of central France, where the dish was born. It traces to the Occitan verb clafir, meaning 'to fill' or 'to fix in place'—a fitting word for fruit studded firmly into batter. The cherry version is the original; when other fruits move in, purists insist it earns the different name flaugnarde.
