A great recipe from Spry Living. I have used Rainer cherries for a bit more tart flavoring. To make almond flour pulse 1/2 cup raw almonds in a food processor until finely ground.

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup pancake mix
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 (12-ounce) package frozen pitted cherries, thawed and drained, juices reserved
1 cup French vanilla ice cream
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch deep pie dish with nonstick cooking spray and place on a baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the pancake mix and sugar. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, butter, extract and eggs. Whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry. Evenly distribute the cherries in the bottom of the pie dish. Pour the batter over top of the cherries and bake until the center is set and the edges are golden, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, about 1 hour, before slicing. To serve, place ice cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 45 seconds until the ice cream is melted. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the reserved cherry juice. Place a slice of the clafoutis onto a desert place. Drizzle with the sauce and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your clafoutis.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough clafoutis.
  • Bake the clafoutis until it is just set. Overbaking will result in a dry clafoutis.
  • Serve the clafoutis warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
  • Top the clafoutis with additional cherries, powdered sugar, or whipped cream. This will add extra flavor and sweetness.

Conclusion:

Cherry buttermilk clafoutis is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use fresh cherries, and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a simple breakfast, brunch, or dessert recipe, cherry buttermilk clafoutis is a great option.
