CHERRY CLAFOUTIS

Happy Ramadhan to all Moslems in world. Have a 'barokah' fasting time and may God accepted our deeds

My simply Cherry Clafoutis, I think it's perfect dessert for our first day of Ramadhan, which is also festive my summer time here in Turkey. Simple, easy, and quick to make....

Ingredients:

 500 g fresh cherries, remove stems and pitted (traditional version no need to pitted)
 ¾ cup cream and milk mixture 1:1 ( half and half)
 1 tsp vanilla essence
 2 large egg
 ¼ cup sugar (can add 1 tbsp if you want sweeter taste)
 ¼ cup flour, sifted
 Pinch fine salt
 Icing sugar for topping
 Butter/ Margarine for basting the pan

method:
1) Prepare your 9-inch pie pan, basting with lots of margarine. Arrange some cherry at the bottom of pie pan, set aside. Preheat oven on 190 ⁰C
2) Bring half and half to almost boiling, turn off the heat, mix in vanilla essence into it, set aside. Mix together flour and salt, set aside.
3) Beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale, mix in flour mixture gradually, beat well in each  addition. Combine the warm half and half into it gradually while gently mix  until blended.

4) Pour into the pan containing the cherries and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, arrange the remaining cherries on top, and bake again until cooked,approximately 45 minutes. Test with a skewer.
5) Remove from oven and allow it to room temperature (± 30 minutes) before dust with icing sugar.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
