When fresh cherries are in season this makes a delicious, simple desert. Serve warm with a little pouring cream or vanilla frozen yogurt...YUM. Recipe from a Mediterranean cookbook. ( You can use 2 15 oz. cans of stoned black cherries, thoroughly drained, if fresh aren't available.) You might also add kirsch to the batter for a special dessert! Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs fresh cherries |
1/2 cup plain flour |
1 pinch salt |
4 eggs |
2 egg yolks |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 1/2 cups milk |
1/4 cup melted butter |
sugar, for dusting |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Lightly butter the base and sides of a shallow ovenproof dish.
3. Stone the cherries and place in the dish.
4. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
5. Add the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and a little of the milk and whish to a smooth batter.
6. Gradually whisk in the rest of the milk and butter (add 3 tblsp kirsch to batter now if desired), then strain (with a tight mesh strainer) the batter over the cherries.
7. Bake for 40-50 minutes until golden and just set.
8. Serve warm, dusted with sugar, if you like.
