Ingredients

  • 1/4 tbsp softened butter for preparing the baking dish
  • 1 pound sweet Bing cherries, pitted
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/3 cup milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Smear a 2-quart shallow baking dish liberally with butter. (I used a 10-inch skillet).
  • Stem and pit the cherries. Lay them in a single layer in the baking dish.
  • Use a blender to mix together the rest of the ingredients (flour, extracts, sugar, milk), for about 20 seconds until smooth.
  • Pour the batter over the cherries. Sprinkle the top with the 3 tablespoons of sugar.
  • Bake the clafoutis for 45 minutes or until the custard is just set. Check by poking with a knife in the center (It should come out clean).
