ready in about an hour

pretty good. Okay, you’re just going to have to trust me on this….
I hate to be bossy, but sometimes you just have to yield to fussiness for really good results.
Once you’ve finished assembling all the layers, you then cover the whole thing with a thin layer of icing.
This is called the “crumb layer”.
Put it in the fridge for about an hour to harden up.
This means that when you do the final layer, there will be no crumbs ruining the finished result.
Much as I hate to admit it……it actually does make a difference.

ready in about 15 minutes
You might need to buy:

Belongs to Peachblossm Clafoutis 

So yummy. Julia Childs recommends baking this twice (briefly baking a think layer on the bottom and adding the fruit on topwiht the remaining batter and baking until done). But the French parents I know use the “express” method with wonderful results.
Serve the clafoutis in teh baking dish, as it is quite wobbly and won’t transfer well. Fresh out of the oven it is puffed and golden. It will settle and sag a bit, but that’s exactly what it is supposed to do.

ready in about an hour and 10 minutes
