Recipe

Cherry Clafoutis

A custard-based clafoutis studded with whole fresh cherries (stones in, the traditional way), finished with a dusting of icing sugar.

What you’ll doYou will butter and sugar a baking dish, arrange fresh cherries in it, then make a batter by sifting flour with sugar and salt, whisking eggs with milk, cream, vanilla and kirsch, and folding them together. After a 10-minute rest, you will pour the batter over the cherries and bake until the edges are golden and the centre just trembles.
