Best Sweet Cherry Clafouti Recipes

CHERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
• Melt the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron or nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. (Alternatively, if you don't have the right skillet, melt the butter in the oven in a 2-quart baking dish.) Swirl the butter so that it coats the sides the pan. Place the cherries in an even layer in the skillet (or baking dish).
• In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, cream, ½ cup of the sugar, the flour, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix on medium speed until smooth and well combined. Pour the batter over the cherries.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the clafoutis from the oven and sprinkle evenly with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Place back in the oven and continue baking until just set and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes more. Note that clafoutis will wiggle just a bit when done, but a toothpick or knife inserted into the center should come out clean. Let cool on a rack for about 30 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar (if using), and serve directly from the pan.
• Leftover clafoutis will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave.

CHERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Make the batter: Whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until combined. Whisk in the salt and flour until smooth. Then whisk in the milk, almond extract, and vanilla extract
• Bake: Bake at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes or until lightly browned and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Check about halfway through the baking, and if the top is getting well browned, tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
• Remove from the oven to cool: When you pull it out of the oven, it will wiggle a bit, which is normal. Place on a wire rack to cool. The clafoutis will have puffed up quite a bit and will deflate while cooling.
• Dust with powdered sugar: When cool, dust the clafoutis with powdered sugar. Serve.
