David Lebovitz'S Cherry Clafoutis

• 1 1/4 pounds (570 grams) sweet cherries
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
• 1/2 cup (100 grams) plus 3 tablespoons (38 grams) sugar, divided
• 1 1/3 cups (330 milliliters) milk
• Softened butter, for preparing the baking dish

1. Heat the oven to 375u0b0 F (190u0b0 C). Grease a 2-quart shallow baking dish liberally with butter.
2. Stem and pit the cherries and lay them in a single layer in the baking dish.
3. Working with a stand blender or an immersion blender and a bowl, blend the eggs, flour, extracts, 1/2 cup sugar, and milk together until smooth.
4. Pour the batter over the cherries and sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar.
5. Bake the clafoutis until the custard is just set; a knife poked in the center should emerge relatively clean after about 45 minutes. Serve the clafoutis warm, at room temperature or cold. It can be made up to a day in advance and refrigerated overnight.
