How to make clafoutis:

This is a classic French dessert. Basically it is fruit in batter. This idea is echoed in traditional English cooking, although the batter is not normally sweetened in English cooking.



Ingredients

4 cups ripe cherries stones removed
2 eggs
2 heaped tablespoons plain flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 pint warmed milk
1 tablespoon cherry brandy
2 tablespoons melted butter
(see measure conversions for more information)

Method

- Whisk the eggs and gradually blend in the flour and sugar.
- Add the milk slowly, whisking it in.
- Add the cherry brandy and whisk in the melted butter.
- Put the cherries into a well greased oven proof dish and pour the batter over the top of them.
- Bake at 200 degrees centigrade (see temperature conversions) for 20 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to about 190 degrees centigrade for a further 20 minutes.
- The batter should be golden brown and well risen.
- Serve hot as a dessert, sprinkled with caster/superfine sugar.
