This dessert is as simple as it can be to prepare. A delicious batter is poured over ripe cherries, yet it has an impressive presentation when taken out of the oven. It looks like a tart and is usually served warm, but cold is also delicious.
0 Butter a 10-inch round baking dish and refrigerate until ready to use.
5 Melt remaining butter and set aside.
1 Wash the cherries and set aside.
2 Whisk the sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl. Add the flour and just enough milk so the mixture gently works to a smooth texture. Gently stir in the rest of the milk, the salt, the vanilla extract, and melted butter.
3 Preheat oven to 350F. Spread the cherries on the bottom on the baking dish and pour over the batter. Put the dish with the clafoutis on a sheet pan in case of overflow, and bake for 40 minutes,
4 Let it cool slightly before serving.
