Cherry Clafoutis

Hi all,

As promised I am posting here recipes of some baking dishes I've made lately, starting with Cherry Clafoutis. Ingredients are very simple, either the techniques. But I can guarantee you that this dish never fails.

• INGREDIENTS
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• About 12 ounce of fresh cherries, cleaned.
• 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 tablespoons butter, soften

METHOD

Preheat oven to 350F, equal 175C

Mix the sugar and cornstarch in a bowl. Add the vanilla and eggs, and mix well with a whisk for 30 to 40 seconds. Add the milk and mix until it is incorporated

Put the cherries evenly in a 6-cup gratin dish, sprinkle with a little bit of sugar and 1/2 tbsp of soften butter. Shake to cover each cherry with sugar and butter. Put the gratin dish on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 6 minutes. At this point, the cherries begin to soften. 

Take the gratin dish out of the oven and pour the egg mixture over the cherries. Bake the gratin in the oven for about 40 minutes, until just set. Cool to room temperature.

Sprinkle confectioner's sugar on top of the cool gratin and serve. 

I hope you enjoy cooking and serving this dish, as much as I do. 

Cheers!
