Weird question:

When you call for pancake flour - do you mean pastry flour or pancake mix? I have looked everywhere for pancake flour - to no avail.

I bought pancake mix, in the hopes that it would work.

Also - have you tried making it with Ranier cherries? I know they’re not as cheap as regular - but they are sooooo good.

Thanks - will be making this later today.

Indira replies:
I used the pancake mix, Aunt Jemina brand (I made the corrections to the recipe.)
Funny that you ask about ranier cherries. Actually I bought them yesterday, thinking of preparing chocolate cherry clafouti. They are very good, a big test to will power, to eat or to bake.:)
Happy baking and good luck, Laura.

Hi,
I made the desseret today and somehow it did not rise like yours did. It’s probably going into the trashcan.

Indira replies:
Sorry to hear that, Misha.

I was so amazed the process of making Cherry Clafouti coz it was easy and simple. So i tried but didnt turn up well. I followed exactly and my claufouti didnt cook well inside eventhough i set the timing more thn 50 minutes.

Indira replies:
It is a simple dessert to prepare and the insides are usually wet like custard and also it needs cooling after removing from oven for atleast one hour. I described the method I followed, sorry it didn’t work for you.

Mika, I know, but only decent shop we have here for groceries is Giant Eagle. Just two weeks back I paid $4 for a pound of cherries in GE, You can imagine our surprise when we saw the 1.19 price this week.
Clare - thanks.
Shammi - Particularly the yolk(yellow) smell. Its like fertilizer kind of smell. I don’t know what they feed these hens here. Sometimes I really feel nauseous to that smell. I avoid as much as possible using yolks.

Oh I agree, Indira - I dont like the eggy smell very much, especially not in desserts. Your clafoutis looks lovely - and you made me laugh with your “quality control” remark Nice way to eat your cherries and have them too! ANOTHER dish to try!!!

G.Eagle is considered a rip-off around here nowadays. My hubby is a big fan of Kroger since his days in Dayton, OH.

Mika - One egg instead of two or three is intentional. I don’t know why but I don’t like the taste of eggs in some desserts. Sometimes I feel like the only thing they add to a sweet is their smell and nothing else.
Jam and Crostata - I should try those too, next time perhaps.
Stephanie - Our First ‘big chain’ experience was also Giant Eagle. Now they are building new shops like Mcbig and selling gas and everything else.

Growing up, it was always such a big deal to stop in a Giant Eagle…we didn’t have them in my home town, but we knew about them from the Pittsburgh TV stations.

I think Giant Eagle was my first, real, *big* grocery chain.
