Bing Cherry Clafoutis from Gluten-Free Cooking for Two Makes 2 servings | Prep time: 5 minutes | Baking time: 20 to 25 minutes You can use fresh, pitted Bing cherries (sometimes called dark or sweet cherries), or buy them canned or frozen. I make these single-serving clafoutis year-round, so in winter I use frozen Bing cherries. The recipe is quite versatile; feel free to vary the fruit. Directions 1. Place a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Generously grease two 3½x1¾-inch (4-ounce) ramekins. 2. Arrange the cherries in a single layer in each ramekin. 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla until very smooth. Gradually whisk in 2½ tablespoons of sugar, the flour blend, and salt until very smooth. Divide the batter between the ramekins, sprinkle with the almonds, and sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar. 4. Bake until the tops are puffy and the almonds are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.

Variations Chocolate-Cherry Clafoutis: Replace the vanilla with 1 teaspoon cherry brandy (kirschwasser) and add 1 tablespoon cocoa to the flour blend. Bake as directed. Liqueur-Laced Clafoutis: For a festive touch, vary the fruit and add a teaspoon of a complementary liqueur to the batter. Some ideas to try: Cherries and cherry brandy (kirschwasser), Pears and pear liqueur, Apricots and apricot brandy or hazelnut liqueur (Frangelico), Blueberries and lemon liqueur (limoncello) or orange liqueur (Grand Marnier or triple sec).
