Cherry Clafouti
A cherry flan.
Pronounced "kla-foo-TEE", this country-French dessert is made by topping a layer of fresh fruit with batter. The unusual name comes from "clafir", a dialect word meaning "to fill" (with cherries). It can be made with any ripe fruit, but the classic one, from the Limousin region, is made with unpitted cherries (not out of laziness of the cook, but because the pit provides a special flavour to the flan).

Before you start
A hand-held mixer will make things easier for this recipe.
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 175°C/350°F. Butter a gratin dish that will hold the fruit in one layer; sprinkle the bottom and sides with 1 tablespoon of the sugar.
-
Wash the cherries, pull the stems off, pat them dry, then lay the cherries in the dish.
-
In a bowl, mix the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt. Add one egg at a time beating using a whisk or an electric mixer after each addition, until the mixture is thick and smooth. Pour in the milk, cream, and vanilla, while continuing to beat until smooth.
-
Pour the batter over the fruit and bake 30 to 50 min, depending on the servings, or until the clafouti is nicely browned on top and a tooth-pick inserted into it comes out clean.
-
Let the clafouti cool down 15-20 min, sift confectioners' sugar over it and serve luke-warm.
