CHERRY CLAFOUTIS

1 cup milk

4 tblsp butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup flour
2 cups cherries


Pre-heat oven 180oC

Pit 2 cups of cherries.

Liberally butter an 8-inch pie pan.

Melt 4T butter. Add 1/2 cup sugar, 4 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp almond extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly. Add 1/2 cup flour. Mix again. Add 1 cup milk. Mix again. Pour into pan. Add cherries on top. I figure the cherries are going to sink anyway, but I wanted some buoyant ones to show on top for color.

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until toothpick inserted into center is clean. If you wish, at the 15-minute mark, sprinkle sugar on top so it caramelizes while baking.
