Tradition dictates that the cherries are used with their lump. However, I like to make mine with pitted cherries (so I don\'t end up with one tooth missing!).
Ingredients
Serves 1 large refractory or 8 individual ones
4 eggs
100g sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla sugar
100g flour
A pinch of salt
200ml milk
200ml double cream
80g butter, melted
800g cherries
Powdered sugar to taste
Method
Pitting the cherries (there is a proper tool for this task, can be found in supermarkets).
Pre-heat the oven to 180 ° C. Grease a glass or ceramic refractory with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Put in the cherries.
Beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla sugar. Add the flour and salt and beat until mixture is fluffy. Add the milk and the cream and mix well. Later add the melted butter (must be at room temperature) and mix until a homogeneous mixture. Gently pour the batter over the cherries previously prepared.
Bake until cooked through (when it is golden and firm in center). Remove from oven and let cool, serve warm dusted with powdered sugar.

I would infuse vanilla pod in the milk by warming same until just under boiling point and also add some kirsch.
Hello <br /> this is a superprescription. If it has cooked already a few times. Quick done and simply tasty!
My husband and I love cherry clatfoutis and your recipe looks to be very easy compared to one I usually make. I've seen fresh cherries out in the produce section of the grocery stores here in the U.S., still price-y, but well worth it. This would be a wonderful surprise for Valentine's Day. I'll just need to convert the measurements to U.S.measurements. <br /> Thanks, Lorie from Phoenix, Arizona<br /> P.S. When serving (and cooled) I like to dust lightly with powdered confectioners sugar; makes it look fancy.
