Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup milk (2% or whole, not skim)
- ⅔ cup flour
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla or almond extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sweet cherries, pitted (fresh or frozen) Do not thaw frozen cherries before baking
- Optional (To Serve): powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven 400ºF.
- Add butter to the bottom of a deep dish pie pan (or 8"x8" baking dish). Place in oven while it's preheating.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all remaining ingredients except the cherries. Whisk well.
- Remove pie pan from the oven, and add cherries to the pan. Pour batter over fruit.
- Bake 35-40 minutes until clafoutis is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool 5-10 minutes. Note: If you skip the cooling time, the clafoutis won't hold its shape when cut.
- Dust clafoutis with powdered sugar (optional), and serve with fresh berries if desired.
- Store leftover cobbler in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.

Notes
- No fresh or frozen cherries? You could also use sour cherries packed in syrup, taking care to drain the syrup before baking.
- Want to use unpitted cherries? Make sure everyone eating the clafoutis realizes there are pits in it! Provide a bowl to dispose of the pits.
- Gluten-Free Adaptions: I have not personally tested this recipe with gluten-free flour, but readers have reported that it works well with Bob’s Red Mill 1 for 1 GF flour + ⅔ teaspoon baking powder.
