Cherry Clafouti

A traditional French dessert that’s even better when made with Door County Cherries!

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds pitted fresh sweet cherries
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
8 egg whites
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 10 inch tart pan (or similar sized baking dish.)
2. Spread the cherries out in the bottom of the prepared pan and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and sugar.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, milk and cream. Stir in the vanilla. Gradually whisk in the flour mixture until smooth and pour it over the cherries.
5. Bake for 45 minutes or until puffed and browned. Let cool until the top sinks in slightly. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.
