Serves 6

A clafouti tastes like a cross between a pancake and a custard and is easier to make than both. It can be thrown together at the last minute with readily available ingredients. Try with berries, sliced peaches, nectarines or apricots when in season.

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pound frozen cherries, thawed and thoroughly drained
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Whisk together sugar, flour and salt. Whisk in eggs one at a time. Whisk in milk and vanilla, just until incorporated.

Arrange cherries evenly in the bottom of a buttered 9-inch pie plate or dish. Pour the batter over the cherries and bake for about 45 minutes, until clafouti is puffed and browned. Sift powdered sugar over top and cut into 6 wedges.
