Ingredients for Clafoutis:
Method of preparing the Clafoutis:
-
Pit the cherries: remove the stem, and hold the cherry firmly between finger and thumb. Using a chopstick, press down through the top of the cherry, and pop the pit out.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch pie pan, then sprinkle it evenly with 1 tbsp. powdered sugar. Shake out the excess. Arrange the pitted cherries evenly in the buttered pie dish.
-
In a blender, add the eggs, flour, the rest of the sugar, salt, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Blend on a high speed until the batter is fully mixed and frothy – about 30 seconds to 1 minute. The batter will be very thin.
-
Pour the batter into your pan, and bake until the custard is golden brown and firm - about 30-35 minutes. Once baked, allow the clafoutis to cool slightly, and then dust it with powdered sugar.
