Cherry Clafoutis
15m prep 45m cook 1h 20m ready
6 to 8 servings A clafoutis is a simple French country dessert. It is similar to an old American dessert called batter pudding and is made by pouring batter over fresh fruit. Clafoutis is traditionally made with unpitted cherries, but we err on the side of dental safety. Raspberries or blackberries may be substituted for the cherries with great success. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 10-inch deep-dish pie pan.
