Equipment
- 1 Springform pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cherries, pitted
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- ½ cup Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 1½ cups Whole milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- ½ tsp Almond extract
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) round baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well blended. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the beaten eggs and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter.
- Gently fold in the pitted cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is set and golden brown on top.
- Remove the clafoutis from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
Notes
Tips for Making the Perfect Cherry Clafoutis
- Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. If fresh cherries are not available, frozen cherries can be used as a substitute.
- For a richer flavor, you can replace some of the milk with heavy cream.
- Be sure to fully incorporate the wet and dry ingredients to avoid any lumps in the batter.
- Let the clafoutis cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set.
