In my opinion, a cherry clafoutis is one of the benchmark desserts of French cuisine. And may the first person who has never eaten a clafoutis throw the first cherrystalk at me! The clafoutis is easy to make, good for parties, sweet but tart, dry on top but fluffy below. It doesn’t demand any skill to make it, except knowing how to remove all the pits when you eat it!
