How to Make French Cherry Clafouti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or oven-safe skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually whisk in the flour, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in the pitted cherries.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the clafouti is puffed and golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm or cold.
