- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen pitted cherries
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar, for dusting
How to make Clafoutis aux Cerises
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or pie plate thoroughly with 1 tablespoon softened unsalted butter.
- Arrange 1.5 cups of pitted cherries evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. If using frozen cherries, do not thaw them first.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 3 large eggs until pale and slightly foamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour until no lumps remain. The mixture will be thick.
- Slowly pour in 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon pinch of salt, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and resembles a thin pancake batter.
- Carefully pour the batter over the cherries in the prepared baking dish, ensuring the cherries are mostly submerged.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is golden brown around the edges, puffed, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the clafoutis from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. It will deflate slightly as it cools, which is normal.
- Dust generously with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.
