for the cherries
- 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 2 cups pitted cherries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
for the batter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously butter a medium sized baking dish (we used this 11 x 6 inch oval dish) with the softened butter.
- Place the pitted cherries in the baking dish, arranging them into a single layer. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons granulated sugar over the cherries. Set aside.
- Place all of the batter ingredients in a high powered blender and blend on high speed for 2 minutes or until frothy and light.
- Pour the batter over the cherries.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until the clafoutis is has puffed up and is golden brown along the edges, but still wobbles a little in the middle. If your baking dish is smaller and thicker, you might need to leave it in for a few more minutes!
- Allow to cool slightly before serving with powdered sugar!
