Clafoutis with pears and vanilla

At last I have made this recipe on clafoutis with pears and vanilla, which I found in the weekly magazine Femina back in 2013 (issue 9/2013) !!!

Instead of baking these clafoutis in creme bruleé bowl, I used some ramekins, which were not broad enough. So the clafoutis dough was raising a lot during the baking almost like a souffle, and then they collapsed. The taste was great, and now I know, that I wish for Christmas :-)

Instead of pears you would also make these clafoutis with cherries or raspberries.
