I have always called this a Dutch Baby, but you may know it as Clafouti. The recipe is pretty much the same, and you probably don't need me to post that, as it's been done, a lot. This is a version, using once again that ever present sourdough bread starter, lurking in my refrigerator.
When I am going to make bread (usually about once a week), a few days ahead of time I put a small portion of starter in a separate jar and begin to feed it more, leaving the jar out on my counter, and put the rest back in the fridge. Every time before feeding that new batch, about half of it is first poured back into the "mother" starter, kept in the fridge. This is the accumulating, lurking entity I am talking about. It takes some attention and culinary creativity putting it to good use, i.e. English muffins, crumpets, pizza, coffee cake, flatbread, pancakes, all of which I have posted about, and now this Dutch Baby or Clafouti thingy.
As two lovely guavas were ready to fall off the tree, I thought of adapting a favorite breakfast dish - the Dutch Baby (who knows where that name came from). The recipe is very simple, with 3 eggs and equal portions of flour and milk (3/4 cup), whipped up in a blender. The idea on this version was to sub out the flour and milk for a cup of starter, plus a small portion of milk to bring the batter to a similar pancake consistency.
