Cherry Clafoutis
Report
This dessert is as simple as it can be to prepare. A delicious batter is poured over ripe cherries, yet it has an impressive presentation when taken out of the oven. It looks like a tart and is usually served warm, but cold is also delicious.

Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter for the baking dish
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter for the batter
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- ¾ cup flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
- 1 pound cherries Leave the pit in.
OPTIONAL
- powered sugar
- ½ teaspoon almond extract to be added to the batter
Instructions
- Butter a 10-inch round baking dish and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Melt remaining butter and set aside.
- Wash the cherries and set aside.
- Whisk the sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl. Add the flour and just enough milk so the mixture gently works to a smooth texture. Gently stir in the rest of the milk, the salt, the vanilla extract, and melted butter.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spread the cherries on the bottom on the baking dish and pour over the batter. Put the dish with the clafoutis on a sheet pan in case of overflow, and bake for 40 minutes,
- Let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- I strongly suggest using your mixer to whisk the eggs and sugar so it will create a rich custardy cream.
- Let the butter rest and cool off after melting it. This will prevent some early cooking and breaking down of your custard.
- If you leave the cherry pits in and wish to have a rich ruby red custard, poke a few of your cherries with the tip of a sharp knife. While baking, the juice will be released in your custard, giving it a nice coloring and an added layer of flavor.
