Clafoutis

Today we made clafoutis (pronounced CLA-foo-tee). This dessert is from the Limousin region of France. It contains cherries baked in a custard in a tart shell.

We also made spritskakor--a German cookie that is piped into different shapes (we piped it into rosettes). We made an indentation in the center and filled it with raspberry jam.

We also baked our vanilla crescent cookies. When they came out of the oven hot, we dredged them in vanilla sugar. Vanilla sugar can be made with used vanilla beans blended with granulated sugar, then sifted.

I will have pictures of all of today's creations on Monday. Until then, I am off to Charleston for the weekend for my friend Ashley's wedding. Congrats, Ashley and Will!
