A new book landed on my desk recently that celebrates baking in the American South. With recipes like lemon drizzle loaves, buttermilk panna cotta with caramel satsumas, and chocolate moonshine cake, you can’t go wrong. The book, “Baking in the American South: 200 Recipes and Their Untold Stories,” features stories, history, and recipes galore that show off America’s Southern style of baking.
This delicious French pudding called a clafoutis is a cross between a Dutch baby and a custard. Historically, clafoutis is a century-old dish from Limousin, France, and was made with fresh cherries. This Seriously Simple recipe reinterprets the classic dessert with fresh figs instead.
