CHERRY CLAFOUTI RECIPE

     Rose Ann's secretary's husband is a buyer for a food cooperative and sometimes brings samples.  We got some sweet, cherries from Oregon.  I looked for a recipe and found this one and it is easy and yummy.  Give it a try.  Ingredients:  3 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp. of vanilla, 2 cups of sweet cherries, and powdered sugar.  Preheat oven to 350 F.  Grease 8 or 9 inch baking dish.  Beat eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar and vanilla with a hand mixer until smooth.  Spread pitted cherries in dish.  Pour batter over cherries.  Bake 45-50 minutes until puffed and golden brown.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar.  Serve warm.       This stuff is good warm or cold.  Kind of like a custard.  The batter is very thin.  Not to worry.  It cooks up great.  Enjoy.  Be careful pitting the cherries.  I cut my thumb.  Is there an easy way to pit cherries?

You can buy a cherry pitter but I didn't find it to work real well. Your recipe sounds good
