I'm not a big fan of cherries, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! The clafoutis was delicious, even without the cherries.

The clafoutis was a bit dry. I think I should have used more milk.

This clafoutis was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This is my new favorite clafoutis recipe. It's so easy to make and always turns out perfect. The cherries add a lovely tartness to the custard. I like to serve it with a dollop of whipped cream.
