Stone Fruit Flaugnarde {Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free}

My husband is doing a gluten-free, dairy-free experiment. So, when the boys asked for flaugnarde this weekend, I decided to give it a try with sweet rice flour and almond milk!

Actually, truth be told, the boys asked for clafoutis, but I didn't have any cherries. I had a basket full of luscious, summer stone fruits. So, we went with that.

And if clafoutis is made with anything other than cherries, it's a flaugnarde. This was made with a mixture of peaches, nectarines, and pluots from a local farm.

Slight adaptation: I increased the liquid in my usual flaugnarde recipe as things with rice flour always seem more dry.

Ingredients

non-dairy butter for greasing the pan
3 C sliced stone fruit
4 eggs
3/4 C organic granulated sugar
3/4 C sweet white rice flour
1-1/2 C almond milk
2 T vanilla paste
1 T apricot liqueur
powdered sugar for dusting

Procedure
Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter your baking dish(es). Spoon the sliced stone fruit into the bottom of the dish(es). Whisk the eggs, sugar, and flour together until smooth. Add the milk. vanilla paste, and apricot liqueur. Whisk until smooth. Pour over the fruit.

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. When you pull it put of the oven it will jiggle a bit. That's normal. Place on a wire rack to cool. The flaugnarde will have puffed up quite a bit and will deflate while cooling. When cooled, dust the flaugnarde with powdered sugar. Serve at room temperature.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
