Aesther Cooking Pairs this recipe with
Ingredients
1 cup whole milk (or any milk of your choice)
3 large eggs
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp almond extract (optional but delicious with cherries)
⅛ tsp salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
2 cups cherries, pitted (fresh or frozen)
Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat and prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously butter a 9-inch round baking dish or cast iron skillet.
Pit the cherries
Pit fresh cherries or use thawed, well-drained frozen cherries. Spread them evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
Make the batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, almond extract (if using), and salt. Gradually whisk in the flour until smooth.
Pour and bake
Pour the batter over the cherries. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set but still slightly wobbly.
Cool and serve
Let cool for 10–15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm, room temp, or chilled.
Tips and Tricks
Removing the pits the easy way! – use a metal straw or chopstick to push them out with ease.
Avoid overtaking – look for puffed edges and a set center.
Keep the cherries suspended – by lightly dusting with flour before adding the batter.
