Equipment
- cherry pitter optional
- cake tester optional
Ingredients
- 3 cups pitted sweet cherries
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 10x7 baking dish with non-stick spray. Add the cherries to the sprayed dish, spreading to a single layer.
- Whisk together the eggs, sugars, salt and flour until smooth.
- Add milk, almond extract and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and continue whisking until smooth. Pour custard mixture into the baking dish.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until lightly browned (a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean). Cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- For best results, use whole milk or half & half.
- The clafouti will puff up while baking and deflate while cooling.
- Dessert can be served warm or cold. It does slice easier after it has cooled.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 days. (I'm giving you permission to eat the leftovers for breakfast).
