Cherry Clafoutis
(Serves 6)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of fresh sweet cherries, pitted
- ¼ cup tablespoons of slivered almonds
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of sugar
- ½ cup of whole wheat pastry flour, sifted
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of whole organic milk
- 2 teaspoons of Amaretto, or ¾ teaspoon of almond extract
- 1 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Confectioner’s sugar for dusting
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter and lightly flour a 9X9-baking dish. Toss the cherries and slivered almonds into the baking dish. Whisk the eggs, sugar, salt, ground cinnamon and flour together until smooth. Add the milk, Amaretto (or almond extract, if using), and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Pour into the baking dish. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until lightly browned, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool. The clafoutis will puff up a bit but will deflate while cooling. When cool dust the clafoutis with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
