Cherry Clafoutis is a rustic French dessert featuring fresh cherries baked in a lightly sweet, custard-like batter. Golden and puffed when baked, it’s elegant yet easy to make, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp butter (for greasing)
