I created this Grape And Blueberry Flaugnarde recipe for Woolworths.
Today’s inspirational recipe from Lavender and Lime ♥ Grape And Blueberry Flaugnarde ♥ #LavenderAndLime Share on X
In December I was asked by Woolworths to do a blog post for their chopping board chit chat on grapes. I was in a baking mood and so I decided to use a clafoutis recipe to highlight the grapes. Clafoutis is usually made with cherries and as soon as I had one bite, I was taken right back to Brittany where we had our first taste of Far Breton. This traditional dessert is often made with grapes, so I was right on the money so to speak. I used green seedless grapes known as Prime and they are not very sweet and have a firm skin. It may have been better to cut them in half before I started baking, but either way, the taste it wonderful. You may be wondering what a flaugnarde is? I could not call this a flan so I turned to Wikipedia for some help: This is a flan-like baked French dessert with fruit arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter. Similar to a clafoutis which is made with black cherries, a flaugnarde is made with apples, peaches, pears, plums, prunes or other fruits. Resembling a large pancake, the dish is dusted with confectioners sugar and can be served either warm or cold.
This was originally published on the 23rd of February 2012 – in the uploading of my old blog to my new one, this post did not transfer properly and I lost the post as well as the 29 comments.

Flaugnarde – what a fabulous word and so yummy too!
I love the word as well!
Oh, yum! Not only a to-die-for word…I must take ‘flaugnarde’ off and use it in three sentences today – but a fantastic recipe to boot. Tandy, I always gain something great from my visits here. Thank you.
thank you so much for the wonderful compliment Kate 🙂
I’ve never heard of a Flaugnarde before. Sounds so posh and very tasty too. 😉
posh and tasty is a good way to describe it 🙂
Sounds delicious Tandy -a new one to me!
hanks Tanya 🙂
I already tasted a similar recipe using raspberries & strawberries! I absolutely love flaugnardes! Yours sounds even better!
oh, I have to make one with raspberries!
YUM! I’ve been seeing a lot of grapes being used in baking lately and I really dig the idea =D
thanks Squishy! I love using grapes in my cooking 🙂
It sounds delicious, Tandy! I can unfortunately not see the picture!
Thanks Zirkie – would you mind looking again and telling me if you can see it – I re inserted it 🙂
sounds very nice. I couldn’t see the picture 🙁 so will have to imagine it, and trust me it looks good 🙂
Hi, I have put the pic in again (second time) so would you mind looking to see if it is there? Glad your imagination makes it look good 🙂
This looks fabulous Tandy. I’ve never heard of a flaugnarde; so love learning about new recipes. It’s interesting that all the fruit remained on the top and did not sink/drop to the bottom. The presentation is beautiful.
thank you Linda, I was quite impressed that the fruit did that as well 🙂
Actually quite simple to make I think…must definitely try this one!!
It is so versatile Lisa 🙂
Hi Tandy, This sounds absolutely scrumptious. MUST try it. Also with raspberries…Thank you! xx.
My pleasure – I should make it again sometime 🙂
