Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will ensure that your clafouti is bursting with flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the clafouti tough.
  • Bake the clafouti until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the clafouti is cooked through.
  • Let the clafouti cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the clafouti to set and will make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the clafouti with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. This will add a touch of sweetness and decadence.
