Flaugnarde

Flaugnarde is a baked fruit flan that is similar to clafoutis. It comes from the French region of Limousin. Clafoutis is made with cherries, but flaugnarde incorporates peaches, pears, plums, apples, raspberries, or any other fruit except cherries. The name of the dish is derived from the Occitan words fleunhe and flaunhard, meaning soft or downy. Baked until golden brown, flaugnarde resembles a large pancake that is commonly dusted with confectioners' sugar. This flavorful dessert can be served warm or cold.
