When I bought cherries the other day at the grocery store, my first idea was “Clafoutis”… Except that I forgot the recipe and had to have my mother email me one. So, just for you, directly from France, a yummy summer treat. It only requires a little patience, to remove the pit out of the cherries, but beside that, very simple to execute.

Clafoutis aux cerises

For 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

• 1 lbs cherries
• 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups milk
• 3 eggs
• 1 tbs butter

Wash the cherries, remove the stem and the pit. Preheat the oven at 350°F. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar and eggs. Add milk progressively until you obtain a dough slightly thicker than pancakes dough. Butter a baking dish, dispose the cherries and pour the dough over. Bake for 40 minutes at medium to high heat.
