Source of Recipe


From "The Gourmet Cookbook"



List of Ingredients



• 1¼ pounds fresh sour cherries, pitted, or 1 pound frozen sour cherries, thawed and drained
  
• ½ cup plus 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  
• 4 large eggs
  
• 1 cup whole milk
  
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
  
• ¼ tsp salt
  
• 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  
• 2 Tbsp kirsch
  
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
  
• 1/8 tsp almond extract
  
• Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
  






Instructions



1. Put a rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 400° F. Butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Toss cherries with 1 tablespoon sugar and spread evenly in baking dish.
   
   
2. Combine eggs, milk, flour, salt, butter, kirsch, extracts, and remaining ½ cup sugar in a blender until smooth. Pour batter over cherries.
   
   
3. Bake clafouti until puffed and golden, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack (clafouti will sink as it cools), and serve warm, dusted with confectioners' sugar.
