Serves 6

Ingredients

Black cherries
2 cups, pitted
All-purpose flour
1/2 cup
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup
Powdered sugar
for dusting
Milk
1 cup
Eggs
3 large
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Salt
1/4 teaspoon

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 black cherries in a single layer in the greased baking dish, spreading them evenly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing well until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and well combined. The batter should be slightly thin.
  6. Pour the batter over the cherries in the baking dish, ensuring the cherries are evenly distributed.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is set in the center and golden brown on top.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature, enjoying the delightful combination of flavors.

Tips

  • 💡 For a twist, try adding a splash of almond extract for a nutty flavor.
  • 💡 If black cherries are not available, you can use other fruits like raspberries or blueberries.
  • 💡 Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
