Clafoutis are one of those bites you enjoy when you go to the pastry chef, but did you know how easy it is to prepare?
They only take 10 minutes to concoct and 25 minutes of patience to cook in the oven! In addition, a few ingredients are enough and you can usually find them in your pantry. So, nothing could be easier! And what could be better than using homemade ricotta and whey in its preparation?
