- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing pan)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish or pie dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
Step 2
Spread the pitted cherries evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt until combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 5
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter gently over the cherries in the prepared baking dish, ensuring the cherries remain evenly distributed.
Step 7
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed up, golden brown, and set in the center.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if using.
Step 9
Serve warm for a custard-like consistency or chilled for a firmer texture. Enjoy your French Cherry Clafoutis!
