     Whenever I watch any baking shows on television, it always happens, I see them make something that I just have to try!  So, when Anita brought me some beautiful blueberries, I knew that I wanted to make a French recipe called Clafoutis!  
       A clafoutis is actually a type of custard that is baked with any fruit added that you can imagine.  It reminds be of what we all a Dutch Puff Pancake, or a type of souffle, because it puffs up in the oven and is gorgeous, (but then it falls, lol).  When we do a Dutch pancake, we add the fruit toppings after it comes out of the oven, but the fruit is baked right in a clafoutis. 

I baked my clafoutis in a cast iron skillet. The cast iron retains the heat, helping the clafoutis not to lose its puffiness quite as quickly. This photo shows the batter in the skillet and the blueberries sprinkled into the batter.

      This recipe is surprisingly quick and easy to mix up!  There will be lots of ooos and aahhs when it comes out of the oven. 
​

      I added sugared blueberries and tiny strawberries to decorate the top. 

      This recipe is definitely a great way to enjoy summer berries.  
      
      One thing I did to enhance the blueberries was to use a couple of drops of lemon essential oil in the batter of the custard.  Also to make the sugared berries, I rolled them in lemon juice and then in granulated sugar.  Those touches of lemon worked so well to brighten up the flavors of the clafoutis! I purchase my oils from DoTerra.  I trust their oils to be pure enough to use in my recipes.  

      Here is the super simple recipe!  You can substitute any fruit instead of blueberries.  On the Summer Bake-Off that I was watching, someone made it using mangoes and someone else used marinated cherries.  So, give it a try and tell me how you liked it!
