Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • 60 g flour (1/2 cup), half white, half whole wheat
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 60 g sugar + 1 tbsp for dusting cherries (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp, raw cane sugar)
  • 300 ml almond milk (1¼ cups, or regular milk)
  • 1 vanilla bean seeds (or ½ tsp vanilla extract)
  • 300 g pitted cherries (2 cups)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F).
  2. Mix flour, baking powder, eggs, sugar, milk and vanilla with a hand mixer until combined and then set aside for 20–30 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, grease a 25 cm (9 inch)round baking dish with butter (or coconut oil with no coconut flavor).
  4. Arrange the cherries around the base of the dish and sprinkle them with 1 tbsp of sugar, then place in the oven for 5 minutes so the fruit begin to soften.
  5. Remove the dish from the oven and pour over the batter until the cherries are just covered. Return to the oven to bake for about 30–35 minutes, or until puffy and golden.
  6. Dust the clafoutis with icing sugar and serve warm or once it's cooled, put it in the fridge, it stays fresh for 2 days.
  7. If there is one thing I would add next time I bake it, I would add a bit of grated lemon zest to lift the flavour of batter a bit, so feel free to try that too. Enjoy! :-)
