A delightful twist on the classic clafouti, this recipe combines cherries and almonds for a warm, comforting dessert.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Butter four 1-cup capacity ramekins.
Use softened butter for easier application.
Toss the cherries with 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl, then divide them evenly among the ramekins.
Coating the cherries in sugar enhances their natural sweetness.
In a food processor, blend the almonds, remaining sugar, flour, salt, eggs, milk, and almond extract until smooth.
Blend until the almonds are finely ground for a smooth batter.
Pour the batter over the cherries in the ramekins, dividing it equally.
Pour slowly to avoid disturbing the cherries.
Top each ramekin with a teaspoon of brandy and bake for 35 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Let the clafouti cool until warm, then sprinkle with confectioners' sugar before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
