I was doing the usual, just perusing the recipe websites and came across this on Myrecipes.com. It’s a recipe for something called Cherry Clafouti.

I have never heard of Clafouti! Have you? I am dying to try it for two reasons…. 1.) it looks and sounds delicious! 2.) I like saying clafouti! It’s really fun! Like “what are you eating there?”. “Oh, just some clafouti”.
MyRecipes also adds that the cost per serving is only $.63 cents! Can’t beat that.
Yield
6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz.) package frozen pitted black cherries, thawed
- 1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 yolk of a large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, optional
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°F. Butter a 9-inch pie plate. Drain cherries; sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. sugar.
Whisk eggs and yolk together in a large bowl until blended. Add flour gradually, stirring constantly with a fork until incorporated. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Slowly add milk, stirring, until mixture forms a thin batter.
Pour half of batter into bottom of pie pan. Bake until firm and set, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and scatter cherries over batter. Pour remaining batter over cherries and return to oven. Cook until puffed, lightly browned and set in middle, about 25 minutes longer. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Sift confectioners’ sugar over clafouti, if desired, and serve warm.

Clafoutis is really good – one of the few things my grandmother used to make well.
Wow, such great information -nutrition facts and all? That’s amazing, so great. And those cherries are looking so good!
Thanks for your comment about my French Toast! So long ago you probably forgot, but thanks just the same.
I have made clafouti before and wasn’t in love with it, but that sure does look good.
I’ve never had clafouti before, but I should try it because yours looks so pretty and super tasty!
63 cents per serving?! That’s brilliant!
I hadn’t heard of cherry clafoutis, but I’m glad I know about it now, it looks outstanding!
You are hilarious! That does have a nice sound to it when you say it out loud
They look delish.
I’ve never heard of Clafouti either – sure looks good though! And not that bad for you either
Yum, I really like clafouti! Very simple to make. Unfortunately, having it in the house means I eat the whole thing, as with anything sweet. :/
looks so great! i’m jealous i suck at cooking! i love getting new recipes to try, so maybe one day i will get good!
This looks so very pretty.
