Milk
1 cup
Eggs
3 large
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup
All-purpose flour
1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Arrange the pitted yellow cherries in a single layer at the bottom of the greased baking dish.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
  5. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  6. Gently pour the batter over the cherries in the baking dish, ensuring the cherries are evenly distributed.
