You must have. Cold clafouti is awful ;o)
Clafoutis _is_ Yorkshire pudding with fruit in it! I asked for it once
in a restaurant, and the manager said he was sorry, "but for that you
need a grandmother". I told him it was the same with us for one's
mother's apple pie. (But I've broken the matrilineal thread for our
family: my kids want Dad's.)
Ha! That famous apple pie. It is a very English family affair isn't it.
But then you haven't tasted mine. Though I wouldn't call clafouti
Yorkshire pudding Mike! More like a flan perhaps. Because do you put
caster sugar in your Yorkshire pudding? And cinnamon, and 4 to 6 eggs
for 75gr of flour?! Vanilla?! And I don't put beef dripping at the
bottom of my dish ;o)
