Step 4

  • Pour the batter over your cherries in the pie dish and place in the oven to bake for about 35 minutes (check after 25). Your clafoutis is ready when it is golden brown and you can insert a knife into the middle and it comes out clean. It may also puff up a little.6.Allow to cool a little before dusting with icing sugar. I like to serve with a little pouring cream or some marsapone or Greek yogurt.Tips and Variations
