French Cherry Clafouti Pudding French Cherry Custard Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter 2-quart baking dish.
• Place flour, 1/3 cup sugar, salt, and milk in mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly to blend and break up any lumps. Whisk in eggs and vanilla until well blended. Ladle about half of the custard into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until set, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven. Distribute cherries evenly on top of the set custard. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup sugar. Ladle in the rest of the custard; avoid rearranging the cherries.
• Bake until puffed and browned, about 45 minutes. Cool to just warm. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a blender blend together 1/3 cup of the sugar, the flour, the eggs, the milk, the vanilla, the zest, the almond extract, and the salt until the custard is just smooth. Arrange the cherries in one layer in a buttered 3-cup gratin dish or flameproof shallow baking dish, pour the custard over them, and bake the clafouti in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is puffed and springy to the touch. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, dot it with the butter, and broil the clafouti under a preheated broiler about 3 inches from the heat for 1 minute, or until it is browned. Serve the clafouti with the ice cream.

Steps:

• Make batter by combining eggs, milk, flour, sugar salt and vanilla in blender or food processor.
• Process until smooth.
• Pour batter over top of cherries.
• Bake in a 350F oven for about 90 minutes.
• Cake is done when batter has set in a custard like mass and a knife inserted comes out clean.
• Let cake cool in pan until lukewarm.
• Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve.
• Due to the nature of this batter, the cake will fall as it cools-- so don't be alarmed.
