Ingredients

• 400 grams Fresh cherries (pitted)
• 60 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 pinch Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 250 milliliters Buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish or oven-safe skillet with the unsalted butter.

Step 2

Spread the pitted cherries evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the dry mixture one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and slowly pour in the buttermilk, stirring continuously until the batter is fully incorporated and has a consistency similar to pancake batter.

Step 6

Carefully pour the batter over the cherries in the baking dish, ensuring the cherries are evenly distributed and not overcrowded in one area.

Step 7

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is golden brown and puffed up around the edges. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the clafoutis from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. As it cools, it will deflate slightly, which is normal.

Step 9

Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
