For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. A touch of almond extract can complement the cherry flavor. Clafoutis is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To avoid excessive browning, tent the clafoutis with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. Pitting the cherries is important not only for safety but also because cherry pits contain a compound that can be toxic in large quantities. Although a few cherry pits in a large Clafoutis may add a subtle almond flavor, it's best to pit all the cherries

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, ⅓ cup sugar, flour, and salt until smooth and free of lumps. Whisk in eggs and vanilla until well combined. Pour about ½ of the custard into the prepared baking dish. (10 minutes)
03
StepBake in the preheated oven until the initial layer of custard is set, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven. Scatter cherries evenly over the set custard, then sprinkle with the remaining ⅓ cup sugar. Gently pour the remaining custard over the cherries, trying to keep them evenly distributed. (15 minutes)
