Express Cherry Clafoutis

Ingredients

8 servings

• 700 g of very ripe cherries
• 2 eggs + 2 egg yolks
• 5 spoonfuls of flour (100 g)
• 5 spoonfuls of brown sugar (100 g)
• 0.25 l of milk (25 cl)
• 60 g of butter
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 sachet of vanilla sugar (optional)

Steps

1. 1

   Wash and stem the cherries.

2. 2

   Preheat your oven to 180/200°C (gas mark 6/7). Place the butter in a pie dish and put it in the oven.

3. 3

   Beat the eggs, add the pinch of salt and the sugar. Mix well (using a whisk or a food processor). Add the vanilla extract, mix, and sprinkle in the flour. Mix well until you get a thick, smooth liquid.

4. 4

   Take the melted butter out of the oven, add it to the liquid, then add the milk while stirring. Once mixed, add the cherries to the batter.

5. 5

   Using a paper towel, spread the remaining butter in the dish to grease it, then pour in the batter. Add a few small knobs of butter on top.

6. 6

   Bake for 45 minutes (until the top starts to turn golden brown). As soon as you take it out of the oven, sprinkle with vanilla sugar.

7. 7

   Serve warm.
