1 clafouti
- Serves:
- 6
ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1⁄3 cup dried sour cherries (pitted)
- 3 cups sweet cherries, stemmed and pitted (fresh or frozen)
- 1⁄4 cup kirschwasser (kirsch)
- 3 large eggs
- 1⁄3 cup whole wheat pastry flour or 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1⁄2 cup milk (regular, lowfat, or nonfat)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9" glass pie plate.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and melt unsalted butter. Carefully mix in granulated sugar (2 tablespoons), dried sour cherries, and fresh or frozen sweet cherries; then cook, stirring as necessary, until hot and bubbling (about 2 minutes for fresh cherries--longer for the frozen variety). Stir in kirschwasser, remove from heat, and cover; leave covered for 10 minutes.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and whole wheat pastry flour until well combined; then add granulated sugar (6 tablespoons), milk, vanilla extract, and salt, and whisk to create a smooth batter.
- Using a pierced spoon, move cherries from skillet to buttered glass pie plate--saving cherry liquid.
- Add cherry liquid to batter, and whisk to combine; then pour over cherries in glass pie plate (it will be very full).
- Bake clafouti for 45 minutes, or until risen and browned.
- Transfer baked claufouti to a wire rack to cool a bit before serving.
- Serve warm with a fine sprinkle of confectioner's sugar.
