Cherry Clafoutis is the Cherry BomB!
A few years ago,
I made a Cherry Clafoutis to bring to a dinner party.
The recipe just sounded Divine to me,
Custard and Cherries baked together...
um, yummm.
Since our condo had a full kitchen,
I knew this would be the perfect time to bake it again.
After looking at many recipes,
I stumbled upon someone using Julia Child's recipe.
Unbeknownst to Me,
it has become very popular since the movie came out.
Oh well, I like Julia Child
The recipe sounded really good
with no diet or low anything in it.
It helped that the Cherries I were really great too!
The recipe says
to bake a thin layer of custard
then add the Cherries,
and rest of the batter.
I didn't.
And it came out Fantabulous!
I also DID NOT PIT the CHERRIES.
The Pits are supposed to add a subtle Almond flavor,
so I left them in.
and No One broke a tooth!
Forewarned is Forearmed...

About the Baking Dish!
I used a 9 x 13 baking dish.
If you like thicker custards, use a smaller dish.
Or you may double the batch, so adjust your dish accordingly.
Cherry Clafoutis the Julia Child's Way
**************************
1 1/4 cups Milk
1/3 cup Sugar
3 Eggs
1 Tbls Vanilla
1/8 Tsp Salt
1/2 cup Flour
3 cups Cherries {I DID NOT PIT MINE}
1/3 cup Sugar
BuTTer
Preheat oven to *350
Butter well! a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Place Cherries in the baking dish
and sprinkle 1/3 cup Sugar over them.
In a blender,
blend the Milk, other Sugar, Eggs, Vanilla, Salt, and Flour.
Pour over the Cherries, slowly, so you don't go knocking them about.
{depending on your oven}
until the Clafouti is puffed and golden brown;
and a knife, wooden stick, comes out clean when tested.
I tend to like my custards like this, more on the "dry" side.
It really is best warm.
Ours was rOOm temperature and was just a good.
You may want to serve it sprinkled with powdered sugar.
There were no leftovers.
