Cherry Clafoutis Recipe

Cherry Clafoutis is a classic French dessert that’s soft, custardy, and filled with juicy cherries. The batter bakes into a delicate, lightly sweet texture somewhere between a pancake and a custard. This rustic yet elegant dessert is simple to make and perfect for serving warm with a dusting of powdered sugar.
