Easy Clafoutis (VIDEO) – Spatula Desserts

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously butter a 9-inch round baking dish or an 8x8 inch square dish.
2. 2

   Arrange the pitted cherries evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until light and frothy (about 1-2 minutes).
4. 4

   Gradually whisk in the all-purpose flour until just combined and smooth.
5. 5

   Slowly whisk in the whole milk, heavy cream, melted butter, vanilla extract, pinch of salt, and optional almond extract until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
6. 6

   Carefully pour the batter over the cherries in the baking dish.
7. 7

   Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed, golden brown around the edges, and set in the center. A skewer inserted near the center should come out mostly clean.
8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. It will deflate slightly. Dust with the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar or powdered sugar before serving.
