Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh cherries (pitted)
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters whole milk
- 100 milliliters heavy cream
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing pan)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish or pie dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
Spread the pitted cherries evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt until combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
Pour the batter gently over the cherries in the prepared baking dish, ensuring the cherries remain evenly distributed.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed up, golden brown, and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if using.
Serve warm for a custard-like consistency or chilled for a firmer texture. Enjoy your French Cherry Clafoutis!
