Instructions

6 steps

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously butter a 9-inch ceramic tart dish or cast-iron skillet.

2
Spread the cherries in an even, dense layer over the bottom of the prepared dish.
3
In a blender or large bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, milk, flour, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until the batter is completely smooth, resembling thin pancake batter.
4
Gently pour the batter over the cherries in the dish.
5
Bake for 40-45 minutes until the clafoutis is puffed, golden brown on top, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
6
Allow to cool slightly (it will deflate). Serve warm, dusted generously with powdered sugar.
