1 Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2 Butter and lightly flour a 9x9-inch or 10x7-inch baking dish. Scatter the cherries and slivered almonds over the bottom of the dish.
3 Whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until combined. Whisk in the salt and flour until smooth. Then whisk in the milk, almond extract, and vanilla extract.
4 Pour the batter into the baking dish over the cherries and slivered almonds.
5 Bake at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes or until lightly browned and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Check about halfway through the baking, and if the top is getting well browned, tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
6 When you pull it out of the oven, it will wiggle a bit, which is normal. Place on a wire rack to cool. The clafoutis will have puffed up quite a bit and will deflate while cooling.
7 When cool, dust the clafoutis with powdered sugar. Serve. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
