Cherry Clafouti

If you're not French already, you will be after you eat this!

*** Please take note that making and eating our recipe for Clafouti is not optional: you must make this right now!!! ***

It is best served warm, so bake it just before you serve dinner (or breakfast, yum!), and serve with a spoonful of crème fraîche.


Unsalted butter, for dish
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup crème fraîche, plus more for serving
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for dish
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 ounces cherries, halved and pitted
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

1. Preheat your oven to 375°

2. Butter a 9'' (1.25" deep) baking dish and sprinkle granulated sugar over butter.

3. Whisk together eggs, yolk, and flour. Then whisk in crème fraîche, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt.

4. Arrange cherries in prepared dish and strain batter over cherries.

5. Bake until browned around edges and set in the center, 30–35 minutes.

6. Let cool only slightly, dust with confectioners' sugar,
and serve warm with crème fraîche!
