Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 lb Dark sweet cherries --
- stemmed and pitted
4 tb Butter
2/3 c Flour
1/4 ts Salt
3 Eggs -- slightly beaten
1/2 c Sugar
1 c Milk
2 tb Kirsch
1/2 ts Vanilla
Preheat oven to 425°F. Melt 4 tb butter in the bottom of a buttered
10" quiche pan; reserve 2 tb. Arrange the pitted cherries on the
bottom of the buttered pan and set aside.
In a small bowl mix the flour and salt. In a large bowl beat the eggs
with the sugar; add milk, kirsch, and vanilla, and beat until well
blended. Add the reserved melted butter, flour, and salt, and beat
again. Pour the batter slowly and evenly over the cherries so that
they are not dislodged.
Bake for 5 minutes; reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 45 to
50 minutes. Clafouti is firm, puffed, and golden brown. Serve warm.
