Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split in half
- 1 tablespoon brandy
- 1 cup flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 pound stoned cherries
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an oval ovenproof dish about 13 inches long. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Scrape the vanilla bean and add the pulp to the egg mixture. Stir in the brandy and flour. Whisk in the milk to form a smooth batter. In a mixing bowl, toss the cherries with the remaining sugar. Place the cherries in the ovenproof dish. Pour the batter over the cherries and place in the oven. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the cake is sponge like. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the clafoutis warm. Garnish with powdered sugar.

This is an easy recipe. Putting the ingredients together was a breeze. My 6yo daughter helped me make it. I like the taste but the texture was a bit on the eggy side and it was not fully cooked after 45 minutes in the oven. I baked the Clafoutis in a dutch oven so perhaps that had something to do with my results. The next time I bake Clafoutis I will omit one of the eggs and remove the lid to the dutch oven after about 35 minutes.

This is an easy recipe with delicious results. I found the cooking time to be accurate. I used a mix of Bing and Ranier cherries, and it was a beautiful dessert while being non-fussy. I'll make this again for sure.

I found this cherry clafouti easy to prepare and delicious. If you're a fan of custards and bread puddings you'll love it. It would be great as a dessert, but it also makes a tasty breakfast. Enjoy!
