There is no other dessert else like this fruit dish.  It requires a fair amount of ingredients, but you’ll find this sweet treat is worth all the effort put in.  What’s even better is how you can make variations with your favorite fruits.  While blackberries or blueberries are common choices, clafoutis is still excellent with raspberries, strawberries, or whatever else you want to try.  For this gluten-free recipes, you’ll need milk, granulated sugar, divided eggs, vanilla extract, a small amount of salt, rice flour, and the fruit of your choice.  Begin by putting the all ingredients besides berries (milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt, and rice flour) into a blender.  Blend them on high until its smooth, and pour most of the batter into a greased pan.  You’ll heat that mixture on stove top until a thin film forms at the bottom, after which you’ll spread out your berries and cover with the remaining batter.  Place your pan into the oven at 350 degrees for a little less than an hour, until it starts to turn brown.  This desert is both light and satisfying, and served well either hot or cold, or even with a side of ice cream.
