CHERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• In a blender, add all remaining ingredients: eggs, sugar, milk, flour, vanilla, almond extract and salt. Blend until smooth.
• Pour the batter over the cherries and sprinkle with the 2 Tablespoons sugar.
• Bake just until custard is set, about 35-45 minutes.
• Clafoutis is delicious served warm, room temp or cold.

RASPBERRY CLAFOUTIS RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch ceramic baking dish, or a 2-quart gratin dish, or a 9-inch cake pan.
• In a medium bowl, toss the raspberries with 1 tbsp sugar. Let them sit while you prepare the remaining ingredients
• In a food processor or blender, combine the remaining ½ cup sugar with the lavender; process until the lavender is mostly ground, about 2 minutes. Then pour the milk, crème fraiche, eggs, and salt, and process to combine. Add the flour and pulse just to combine.
• Arrange the sugared berries in the prepared baking dish, then pour the egg mixture over them. Bake until the cake is golden and the center springs back when lightly touched, about 35 minutes.
• Transfer the baking dish to a wire rack and let the cake cook for at least 15 minutes before serving. Then dust it with confectioners' sugar, slice it, and serve it with a dollop of whipped crème fraiche if you like (I used Greek yogurt to serve along).

CHERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a blender, combine eggs, sugar, salt, milk, and both extracts. Blend until combined. Add in the flour and blend again for about 30 seconds until combined. Add in the melted butter and pulse the blender a couple times to mix it in.
• Pour the batter into the prepared 10x6 oval dish, but it can also be done in a 9 inch round dish. Place the cherries on top of the batter. You can arrange them however you prefer.
• Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until fully set and a knife comes out mostly clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at least 15 minutes.
• You may serve this warm or cold. Dust with powdered sugar and, if desired, serve with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
