Ingredients
For the Cherries
- 3 cups fresh cherries (pitted)
- unsalted butter (to grease the baking dish)
- 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
For the Clafoutis Batter
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- pinch of salt
Optional
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F degree. Grease a 9-inch round baking dish.
- Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly. Set the dish aside.
- Clean the cherries, remove the stems and pits of the cherries. (Pro tip: if you don’t have a cherry pitter, you can place the cherry onto the mouth of an empty bottle, and use a chopstick to push out the pit.)
- Place the cherries in the prepared baking dish in one single layer.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs. And add sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Mix in the melted butter. Then mix in the flour until smooth. Finally mix in the milk.
- Pour the batter over the cherries in the baking dish.
- Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until golden on the edges.
- Remove from oven and let the clafoutis rest for about 30 minutes before serving. (Don’t skip this step as it will firm up your clafoutis.)
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Don’t serve it immediately after it comes out of the oven as it will fall and deflate easily.
- You can customize this recipe using different types of fruits like peach, pear, blueberries, apricot, and strawberries.
- Store leftover clafoutis in the fridge and they’ll last up to 3 days.
