If you're searching for a dessert that embodies the quintessence of French elegance, look no further than Cherry Clafoutis!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh cherries pitted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Powdered sugar for serving optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a baking dish to ensure that delicious clafoutis doesn't stick.
  • Prepare the Cherries: Pit and wash your cherries. Scatter them evenly across the bottom of your greased baking dish—this is where all the magic begins!
  • Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs until they're fluffy. Add in 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Mix it until you have a smooth batter.
  • Combine the Mixtures: Pour the batter gently over the cherries, ensuring even coverage.
  • Bake: Place your dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the top is set and a lovely golden brown.
  • Serve Warm: Once done, allow it to cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar if you like, and serve warm!
