Description
A delightful French dessert featuring cherries, warm spices, and a fluffy batter, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the dish)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish with the unsalted butter.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until frothy. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract, and whisk to combine. Gradually whisk in the milk, followed by the flour and a pinch of salt. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Arrange the cherries evenly in the prepared dish. Pour the batter over the cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the clafoutis to cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with other spices or fruits. Ensure cherries are pitted before use.
