  • This is the dessert to make if you've never made dessert but want your friends to think that you have. It's easier than making pancakes. Here's the recipe: www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2...
    That's my colleague Daniel Gritzer's classic version, which is made with cherries. I'm making mine here with apricot, because it's what I had on hand.

    Obviously he's a chef, but you can tell he has some serious actual kitchen/restaurant experience because he eats absolutely everything in a max of 4 bites. Gotta shovel it in and get back to work.

    I love how Kenji's recipes and tips are so friendly for home cooks, and how he offers alternatives for ingredients. I like watching a lot of Bon Appetit's videos too, but sometimes they can be pretty high and mighty when it comes to the ingredients. Kenji's whole attitude towards cooking is so refreshing, especially coming from a professional chef.

    I made this with sweet cherries 🍒 for dessert tonight, it took all of 10 minutes to prep and most of that was pitting the cherries by hand (turns out that squashing cherries with the flat of a chefs knife, just like garlic, works pretty well). It was lightly sweet, perfect with whipped cream, and definitely is going into the rotation. Thanks so much for sharing! This worked great in my 10” square lodge cast iron pan.

    Excellent word trivia: The clafoutis is also known as a flognarde, depending on which fruits are or aren’t in it.
    Both of these words are really good words to say out loud, and in my opinion rank up there with bibimbap and mee grob as some of the funnest food names in the world.

    Dan: "It's like a cross between a Dutch baby and a flan"
    The former is what you tell a cook to convince them it's easy to make, the latter is what you tell a customer to convince them they should spend a lot of money to buy it.

    Hello chef! After seeing your video I tried making my own clafoutis with apples instead of apricots but it didn't turn out too great.

Is there anything I could do with the apples to make them less liquidy? Thanks a lot!

  • @RiamsWorld
    @RiamsWorld 4 года назад

    In doing some research about this type of dish, I've come across a bunch of traditional dishes that are in a similar category of a fruit filled pancakey flan pudding:
    Far (Breton) from Brittany
    Cajasse (du Quercy/quercynoise) from Dordogne
    Pelhaire from Perigorde
    Milliard from Auvergne
    Sometimes different ratios or different traditional fruit. Not sure how to tell if differences I find between recipes are due to variations between recipe writers, or indicative of categorical differences between dishes/regions. I've read some people say a Far is just a clafoutis with regional ingredients like plums, while others say it's denser, more flanlike. Pelhaire and Milliard also traditionally use cherries.
    The only one that seems clear is that a flaugarde is identical to a clafoutis but without cherries.
    I'm curious if they're all the same or do they represent a spectrum of textures from one end of flan to cake on the other? It would be interesting if variations in ingredient measurements, more than just less consistency, actually caused it to shift from one dish to another.

    This works with any kind of fruits, just make sure they are well layered on the bottom. If you want to go super traditional, you need fresh sour cherries with the pit still inside. This keeps 2-3 days refrigerated. Some people prefer it cold rather than roomtemp, you do you.

    Side note: From what I can tell, I think the technical difference between creme chantilly and whipped cream is like the difference between meringue and whipped egg whites. The latter is a method of treating an ingredient(though can be used as a shorthand to imply more), while the former is more of a completed usage of it (in the case of creme Chantilly, implies sugar and vanilla, whereas whipped cream only needs to be cream whipped to form peaks).
    Though I think because creme chantilly is a less commonly known name, so people just say whipped cream and let context imply whether it should have sugar/vanilla or plain.
    In that regard, it's also sort of like how "mustard" in an Indian cooking context would imply just the seeds, whereas an American diner ordering a hot dog asking for "mustard" implies the condiment of prepared mustard, or a Vietnamese restaurant saying a dish comes with "fish sauce" implies a prepared version Nước mắm pha compared to a English-language Vietnamese recipe that says "fish sauce" would refer to just plain nước mắm.
    While you could say "creme chantilly" to be fancy, I think it's also a matter of how unambiguous you want to be, like saying custard vs creme anglaise.
