By CarolM-2

Ingredients

• 20 oz. (600 g) fresh sweet cherries, stemmed and pitted
• 2 tbsp. (30 g) butter, melted
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup (240 ml) milk
• 3/4 cup (100 g) flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
• 1/2 tsp. almond extract (or 3 drops of almond essence)
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• For dusting: powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease a round 10 inch (26cm) baking dish with butter. Dust with about 2 tablespoons of sugar.

2. Arrange the cherries in a single layer. Set it aside until you prepare the batter.

3. Mix the eggs with the remaining sugar and salt. Stir in flour. Add milk, vanilla extract, almond extract and mix well until well blended. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. The result is similar to a crepes mixture.

4. Pour the mixture over the cherries.

5. Bake for about 40-45 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm or chilled.
