Cherry Clafoutis
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Brush the dish with melted butter, sprinkle some caster sugar into the dish, pit the cherries, and spread them in an even layer over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a medium bowl and make a well in the center with your finger. Pour the milk and cream into the well and stir with a whisk, gradually drawing in the flour to make a smooth paste. Add the whole eggs, the egg yolk, and caster sugar, and continue whisking to make a smooth batter. Preheat the oven to 180°C just before baking. Ladle the batter over the cherries, then spoon over the Kirsch. Bake the clafoutis in the preheated oven until puffed up and beginning to brown, about 30-35 minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle the clafoutis with icing sugar using a small sieve.
