Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

Do check the clafoutis is fully cooked as it may need an extra few minutes if you use a smaller diameter dish. The top forms a "crust" whilst it's still cooking underneath...don't be fooled into taking it out of the oven too soon.
