I love them so much that I couldn’t resist making a cake in their season. Their Highnesses in the main part – the Cherries! Clafoutis with cherries is a light and airy French dessert which would impress everybody with the way it looks.
The classic clafoutis is made with cherries or sour cherries. But if you want to escape the classic you may use other summer fruits like apricots, peaches, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. The batter for this dessert is similar to the pancakes’ batter and it has to be with the same consistency. Another thing you could experiment with is the shape. You may prepare it in a large baking tin and cut pieces like the ones in the photo or you may prepare it in small fireproof dishes.
