Description
A simple French baked dessert with cherries and almonds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9-inch pie plate or baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
- Arrange the cherries in the prepared baking dish. Pour the batter evenly over the cherries.
- Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed and golden brown, and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
Notes
- If using frozen cherries, do not thaw them before baking.
- You can substitute other berries for the cherries if desired.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of kirsch or brandy to the batter.
