Cherry clafoutis

Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound cherries, pitted and halved
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup flour, plus extra for dusting the pan
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• powdered sugar, for dusting the pan
• butter, for greasing the pan

A few notes on making this:

• This is an easy way to use up a bounty of summer cherries if you’re willing to take a little time to pit them.
• You can use a cherry pitter to quicken the process. I like this one.
• You can bake this in a regular pie dish like this, or this.

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 350° F.
• Butter and flour a round baking dish that measures at least 2” high and 9” wide—you can use a pie dish.
• Pit and cut cherries in half, then scatter evenly about the pan.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar.
• Add the flour and baking powder and whisk again until combined.
• Slowly add in milk and whisk until the batter is smooth.
• Pour over the cherries and bake until set and lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
• Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
