This is one of my favorite things to make! I let the apple slices sit in a little lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar while I prep the rest and it gives this little tang... mmmmmmmm

This is also really good with plums, cherries, peaches, whatever!!
Ok, now I know what I am making tonight!
 
With Italian plums in season it is wonderfull, and of course with either sweet or tart cherries. I have also made it with a combination of apples and bananas flavored with rum - divine!
 
Is that a Maran rooster in your pic? I have all Marans city chicks but was slipped a roo by mistake (they were just pullets). Sadly I have to get rid of him - but they are gorgeous! I also see you use Poupoules/Poupoulles as your ID. You must either be French or a serious francophile to know the term

Old thread here I know. I've only made one clafoutis in the past and used duck eggs. Anyone here ever try making clafoutis with goose egg? I was thinking of giving it a try here as I have a bunch of them and thought that the extra richness might work well. Seeing as I am not that familiar with clafouti and I have to switch it all over to gluten free already, I wasn't sure how flexible the recipes for this dessert is. Has anyone here used goose eggs for this? How did it go?
 
I have never cooked with either goose or duck eggs, I just know them to be very fatty/rich. No reason why they would not work in a recipe like this.Sometimes I lighten my batter by using half milk and half beer or soda water.
