Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease generously a 9-inch (23 cm) circular pie dish or skillet (or alternatively 8 individual baking dishes or ramequins).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla and almond extract*. Add the flour, almond meal and salt, and whisk until smooth.
- Place the cherries at the bottom of the prepared dish and pour batter over.
- Bake for about 45 minutes or 25-30 mins for individual clafoutis. The clafoutis is done when puffed and brown on the edges, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. The clafoutis will deflate as it cools. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and slivered almonds if using, and enjoy!***
CHERRY CLAFOUTIS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Make the batter: Whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until combined. Whisk in the salt and flour until smooth. Then whisk in the milk, almond extract, and vanilla extract
- Bake: Bake at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes or until lightly browned and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Check about halfway through the baking, and if the top is getting well browned, tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Remove from the oven to cool: When you pull it out of the oven, it will wiggle a bit, which is normal. Place on a wire rack to cool. The clafoutis will have puffed up quite a bit and will deflate while cooling.
- Dust with powdered sugar: When cool, dust the clafoutis with powdered sugar. Serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a blender blend together 1/3 cup of the sugar, the flour, the eggs, the milk, the vanilla, the zest, the almond extract, and the salt until the custard is just smooth. Arrange the cherries in one layer in a buttered 3-cup gratin dish or flameproof shallow baking dish, pour the custard over them, and bake the clafouti in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is puffed and springy to the touch. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, dot it with the butter, and broil the clafouti under a preheated broiler about 3 inches from the heat for 1 minute, or until it is browned. Serve the clafouti with the ice cream.
CHERRY CLAFOUTI (FRENCH CHERRY CUSTARD CAKE)
This "custard cake" is simply an oven baked "pancake" so it is also wonderful for breakfast as well as dessert! This "cake can also be made with blueberries, raspberries, peaches or apricots.. so don't be afraid to experiment with your favourite summer fruit. I would also sprinkle "Juicy" fruit with a couple of tablespoons of plain flour to absorb the juice. This dessert may also be made with harder fruit, such as apples, though I saute apple slices in a bit of butter first. This may be served hot, or cold, but is traditionally served lukewarm. Upon seeing the review below, I realized the short coming of this recipe (the original never stated a pan size when I received it) That being the case, I must state that the recipe is for 6 servings only, and the cook must be careful of not using too large a pan or the results will be quite different than intended.
