Cherry Clafoutis at the Old Parkdale Inn – National Cherry Dessert Day, May 26
Clafoutis: Maybe it was the name, sounded very complex and intricate, but I put off attempting this dish. Now that I’ve tried it and realized how simple it is, I bake at least 3 or 4 a week for guests at the Old Parkdale Inn, especially during the Hood River Valley Cherry Harvest season, end of June into July.
Start by pitting enough Dark Cherries to fill the bottom of a buttered 9 or 10 inch glass pie plate. Preheat oven to 350°.
Ingredients: 4 eggs, ½ cup sugar, ¼ tsp salt, ¾ cup flour, ½ tsp vanilla, ½ tsp almond extract, 1 cup milk, 2 Tbs butter
Whisk together all the ingredients and pour over the cherries. Bake 40-45 minutes. Let it cool and firm up a bit before slicing into wedges, dust with Powdered sugar and serve.
