Cherry Clafoutis Recipe: A Classic French Dessert

Ingredients

• 0.5 teaspoon butter
• 1.25 cups milk
• 0.67 cup white sugar, divided
• 0.5 cup flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 eggs eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 12 ounces fresh cherries, stems removed

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously butter a 2-quart baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, ⅓ cup sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt until smooth and free of lumps. Whisk in eggs and vanilla extract until the custard mixture is well combined. Pour about ½ of the custard into the prepared baking dish.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until the custard is partially set. Remove from the oven and evenly distribute the cherries over the partially set custard. Sprinkle the remaining ⅓ cup of sugar over the cherries. Gently spoon the remaining ½ of the custard over the cherries, being careful not to disturb their arrangement.
4. Return to the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed and golden brown. Allow to cool slightly until just warm before serving; enjoy warm.
