Buttermilk & Cherry Clafoutis
Serves: serves 6-8
 
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened
  • 5 Eggs
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • ½ cup Mascarpone
  • ⅓ cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons Creme de Cassis
  • ½ teaspoon Almond Extract
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ cup Flour
  • 2 cups Cherries, pitted & halved(2 cups is the measurement needed after halving the cherries)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Whipped cream, for serving, if desired
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Spread the softened butter over the bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking dish or two 8" round pans.
  2. Place the eggs, yolks, mascarpone, sugar, buttermilk, creme de cassis, almond extract, salt, and flour in a blender. Blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender if any flour gets trapped while blending and blend again to ensure that there are no lumps.
  3. Pour the batter into the buttered dish or dishes. Top with the cherry halves, placing them in the batter cut side up.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until puffed and lightly golden brown on top.
  5. Let cool slightly.
  6. Serve dusted with powdered sugar. Top with sweetened whipped cream, if you like.
