Clafoutis is a rustic French dessert of juicy cherries baked in a tender, custardy batter — simple, elegant, and slightly puffed at the edges.

Method

Prep the dish

If the cherries are dusty, rinse Black Cherries quickly and pat them dry, then leave them whole. Use Unsalted Butter to coat an ovenproof baking dish, then sprinkle in Granulated Sugar and tilt the dish so the sugar clings to the bottom and sides.

Preheat the oven

Heat the oven to 375° F and let it fully come up to temperature while you make the batter.

Whisk the batter

In a large bowl, whisk Eggs with the remaining sugar and Salt until smooth. Whisk in All-purpose Flour to make a thick paste, then slowly pour in Whole Milk and Kirsch, whisking until the batter is silky and pourable, like thin cream.

Bake the clafoutis

Scatter the cherries in the prepared dish in a single layer, pour the batter over them, and bake on the middle rack for 35 minutes until the clafoutis is puffed, deeply golden, and just set with a slight wobble in the center.

Let it rest

Let the clafoutis rest for 10 minutes before dusting so the custard settles and slices more cleanly.

Dust and serve

Finish with a snowfall of Powdered Sugar and serve it warm, straight from the dish.
