Equipment
- 9-inch baking dish
- Blender or whisk
- Mixing bowl
- Fine sieve
Ingredients
Clafoutis Batter
- 2 cups pitted fresh cherries
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp fine salt
To Finish
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup lightly whipped cream optional
Instructions
Prepare:
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9-inch baking dish and arrange the cherries in an even layer.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, eggs, milk, cream, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Pour the batter over the cherries.
Bake and Serve:
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until puffed, golden, and softly set in the center.
- Cool for 15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve with whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- The center should have a gentle wobble when the clafoutis comes out of the oven.
- Frozen pitted cherries can be used straight from frozen; add a few minutes to the bake time.
