Some time ago Lonk and I and were invited over to our neighbors across the street. We had a very relaxed evening and enjoyed a good meal.
For dessert Steph suprised us with a cherry pie but I should actually call it by its authentic french name, which is Clafoutis Limousin. Last weekend Lonk tried the recipe and it tasted great, almost as good as the original!
It is very easy to make, here’s how.
Ingredients:
* 350 g cherries (fresh pitted or from a jar)
* 250 ml milk
* 75 g flour
* 3 eggs (medium sized)
* 75 g sugar
* 1 sachet of vanillasugar
* salt
* confectioners sugar
* butter for baking dish
Preparation
Preheat oven to 190°C/374°F. Butter baking dish. and add cherries to the dish (cherries from a jar should be drained well first). Wisk flour, eggs sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt together in a bowl to a smooth batter. Pour batter over cherries and place dish in the middle of the heated oven and bake until clafoutis is done, 40-45 minutes. Remove dish from oven (optional, sprinkle with confectioners sugar).
Serve hot or cold.
Next time we use this recipe we might get some fresh raspberries or blackberries from our garden. That should be good too! I think canned apricots or peaches should also do the trick.
