Ingredients

  • 450 g Cherries

For Preparing the Baking Dish:

  • 10 g Unsalted Butter
  • 20 g Caster Sugar

For the Batter:

  • 3 Eggs
  • 80 g Caster Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 30 g Unsalted Butter
  • 35 g Plain Flour
  • 100 ml Whole Milk
  • 130 ml Whipping Cream
  • ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt

Instructions

  • Remove the pit from the cherries with a cherry pitter.
  • Sprinkle the caster sugar evenly over the buttered dish. Tilt the dish to cover the sides and bottom evenly, then shake out any extra.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, caster sugar, salt, and vanilla extra until well combined and slightly frothy.
  • Sift in the plain flour and whisk until smooth and free of lumps.
  • Gradually add the whole milk, whipping cream, and melted butter, whisking until the batter is smooth.
  • Brush a 23 cm (9-inch) baking dish with melted butter.
  • Arrange the pitted cherries evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the batter over the cherries, making sure they are well distributed.
  • Place the dish in the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) (standard oven) or 160°C / 320°F (fan forced / convection) and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed, golden brown, and set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Allow the clafoutis to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Serve warm or at room temperature: Clafoutis tastes best when it's fresh out of the oven, or within a few hours of baking. Enjoy it while it's warm!
Storage: If you have any leftovers, store them in the fridge. 
Experiment with flavors: Traditional clafoutis is made with cherries, but you can try other fruits like berries, plums, or apricots. Just remember that the fruit's moisture might change the baking time a bit.
