Cherry Clafoutis

2 Cups Cherries, pitted

3 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 cup flour

1 cup whole milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

2 teaspoons Kirsch

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a glass pie pan, round baking dish, large cake pan or oven proof skillet. Scatter the cherries (with or without pitts) evenly over the bottom.

Beat the eggs and sugar with a whisk until lighter in color. Gradually add the melted butter, beating to incorporate. Add the flour all at once and whisk until the batter is well mixed. Slowly add the milk a little at a time. Then the vanilla and the Kirsch if using. The batter should be smooth and very shiny.

Pour the batter slowly over the cherries and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until slightly browned and almost set in the middle. Allow to cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
