• 2/3 cup flour
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla or almond extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups sweet cherries, pitted (fresh or frozen) (Do not thaw frozen cherries before baking)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven 400ºF.

2. 2

   Add butter to the bottom of a deep dish pie pan (or 8"x8" baking dish). Place in oven while it's preheating.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, add all remaining ingredients except the cherries. Whisk well.

4. 4

   Remove pie pan from the oven, and add cherries to the pan. Pour batter over fruit.

5. 5

   Bake 35-40 minutes until clafoutis is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. 6

   Allow to cool 5-10 minutes. Note: If you skip the cooling time, the clafoutis won't hold its shape when cut.

7. 7

   Dust clafoutis with powdered sugar (optional), and serve with fresh berries if desired.

8. 8

   Store leftover cobbler in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
