Fresh Cherry Clafoutis
212
Cherry clafoutis is original from France, and it's usually made with unpitted cherries, which gives the clafoutis almond flavor during the baking. But nowadays we always pit the cherries in order to eat it easier later on, so you can add a little bit almond extract, which will definitely give your clafoutis almond taste without worrying about the pits from the cherries!

Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Add the milk, almond and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Butter a 9 by 9-inch or 10 by 7-inch baking dish , or a pie plate.
Add the cherries, almonds if using and sugar into a bowl, toss until well mixed.
Spread the cherries and almonds if using evenly into the baking dish.
