Clafoutis is a delicious French dessert that originated in the Limousin region. Simple and homey, it is made by spreading a layer of fruit—traditionally sweet black cherries—in a shallow baking dish, covering it with a sweetened egg batter, and baking it. This version uses dried cranberries and unsweetened canned pears instead of black cherries. It's also lightened up by including low-fat milk and fat-free egg substitute. First you layer the pear wedges in the bottom of the pan, sprinkle with cranberries, then top with the batter. Bake until puffed and gorgeously golden, then dust with some powdered sugar before serving to tie it all together.
