Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter a 9-inch pie dish with softened butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: Spread 2 cups pitted fresh black cherries evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  3. Step 3: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  4. Step 4: Add 3 large eggs one at a time, whisking until smooth. Slowly pour in 1 cup whole milk, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract, whisking continuously until a thin batter forms.
  5. Step 5: Pour the batter over the cherries, ensuring they are evenly covered.
  6. Step 6: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the clafoutis is puffed, set, and golden around the edges.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving warm or at room temperature.
