    Serves 6 Preperation and cooking times Ready in 40 mins, plus 4 hours resting I intend to make this, and I wonder where in the method of this recipe does it say to rest it for four hours?

    This recipe is brilliant, I make it every Autumn when I have been blackberrying. I usually use just blackberries and blueberries, whatever I have, it is delicious. I don't rest it for 4 hours - 10 minutes is the most I can wait when it's out of the oven!

    Really nice. I think this is best eaten warm, so about 30 mins out of the oven, but have also eaten hot and cold and still delicious. One of the easiest and most impressive recipes I have tried.

    My mother and I have made this on separate occasions (and using different ovens) and both needed to leave it in the oven for longer than the suggested time, around 15-20mins longer.

    My first ever clafoutis, I made mine with plums because that is what I had, and I macerated them first, it came out really light and delicious. Very simple to make, I will be trying it with other fruits.

    This was really easy to make and very tasty, my friends were surprised at my cooking skills. I used redcurrants instead of blueberries as I couldn't find any blueberries on the day

    First ever clafoutis made to the tee. Perfect! I made it for a dinner party of student friends and this was the perfect light posh dessert to finish the evening off.

    Delicious! The almond gives a lovely nutty flavour and it is surprisingly easy to make. I am tempted to try this again with different fruit. I also agree that it does not have to rest

    This tasted delicious (and worked well with vanilla cream - good tip, Spela!) but even after 45-50 minutes cooking it was totally undercooked in the centre (i.e. very runny). Is this how it is meant to be? Any tips? Does it just need a higher heat?

    Clafoutis is absolutely sublime made with cherries (stones removed). It's meant to be lightly browned on top and set but still quite soft inside, not runny though. I have made it with plums too, and I have seen a recipe that used 6 fresh figs cut into wedges, with raspberries

    This looks lovely. Sadly here in Western Australia I can't buy any fresh berries at the moment. How do you think it would go with frozen berries?

    Yum. Enough said! Except that I had a small issue in that it ended up in a deliciously almond-y topping and a more wet, soft fruit like bottom. Unlike the picture above i didn't have any fruit showing, just cake. In respone to cookie1 i did use frozen fruit and of course let them defrost, so maybe this is where the problem arose!
