Cherry Clafoutis Recipe
Follow this recipe to prepare a delicious Cherry Clafoutis, a classic French dessert where cherries are baked in a custard-like batter.
Equipment
- 1 Baking dish 9-inch round or similar size
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 4 Eggs Large, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups Milk Whole or 2%
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Almond extract Optional
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter Melted and slightly cooled
- 2 cups Cherries Pitted, fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch round baking dish with butter.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then add the milk, vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and melted butter.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour a small amount of batter into the baking dish, just enough to cover the bottom.
- Distribute the cherries evenly over the batter in the dish.
- Pour the remaining batter over the cherries.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed and golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. The clafoutis will deflate a bit as it cools.
- Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
For best results, use fresh, ripe cherries. If using frozen cherries, thaw and drain them well before using.
