Monica's Cherry Clafoutis

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups cherries (about 1 pound)

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. 2

   Butter a baking dish (almost any size or shape that is 8x8 or somewhat larger).

3. 3

   After washing and removing stems, arrange cherries in bottom of baking dish.

4. 4

   Whisk together remaining ingredients until batter is smooth.

5. 5

   Pour over cherries.

6. 6

   Bake for about 45 minutes or until batter is set and lightly browned.

7. 7

   The clafoutis is puffy when it comes out of the oven, then sinks down to be more flan-like as it cools.

8. 8

   I like to serve warm, sometimes with a bit of whipped cream.

9. 9

   Watch out for the cherry pits. The good thing is that it makes you eat more slowly.
