Cherry Clafouti is a French country-style egg custard dessert, slightly similar to quiche. Sweet cherries are covered in pancake-like batter, then baked until puffed and nicely browned. It’s a really quick and easy custard-type dessert that has no need to be cooled or stored in a fridge before serving. Clafouti can also be versatile by replacing cherries with any berries, plums, or peaches. It can also be served for breakfast or brunch.

- Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Step 2
Use the 1 tablespoon butter to grease a 10-inch round baking pan. Do not use a springform pan or a removable-bottom tart pan.
- Step 3
If using fresh cherries, pit them. If using canned cherries, drain them well. Arrange 1.5 cups prepared cherries evenly over the bottom of the buttered pan.
- Step 4
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs and 1.25 cups milk until evenly combined.
- Step 5
Add 0.25 cup granulated sugar, 0.5 cup all-purpose flour, 1 pinch salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add 1 teaspoon kirsch liqueur if using.
- Step 6
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the batter is smooth and no flour lumps remain.
- Step 7
Pour the custard batter evenly over the prepared cherries.
- Step 8
Bake at 325°F for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the clafouti is lightly browned, puffed, and firm to the touch.
- Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow it to rest briefly. It may be served warm or completely cooled; refrigeration before serving is not required.
- Step 10
Dust the top with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar before serving.
