Pierre Franey - Cooking in France Clafouti aux poires (Custard Tart with Pears)
comments (0) April 3rd, 2009 in GalleryFoods that I love to eat and those that are also considered 'sinful' fall in the dessert section. Some of the classic desserts on world table are the desserts that I have adapted for mini or down-sized or individual serving versions. It provides the advantage of limiting the portion while baking in individual ramekins and at the same time is fun to make at home since I can adjust the recipe to my liking.
Here is one such classic: French Clafouti. When downsizing a recipe, especially of a baking good, you can;t just halve the ingredients and pray for good results. the baking time and temperature adjustments are a given; but a good amount of thought has to be provided for the ingredients as well since the original recipe is baked as a 9.5 inch pie and I am reducing it by almost a quarter. This is an adaption and the original recipe is the inspiration for trying this put in my oven.
