  1. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat 4 eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt for several minutes until the mixture becomes foamy, pale, and the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Add the Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually sift in 1/2 cup of flour, continuing to beat the mixture to avoid lumps.
  3. Incorporate Cream and Milk:
    • Slowly add 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of milk, beating until the batter is smooth and slightly thinner than pancake batter.
  4. Flavor the Batter:
    • Stir in 1 tablespoon of Amaretto and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract for added flavor.
  5. Add the Cherries:
    • Gently fold in 1 cup of sour cherries (fresh or jarred, drained) into the batter.
  6. Prepare the Baking Dish:
    • Lightly butter an ovenproof dish, ensuring even coverage on the bottom and sides.
  7. Bake the Clafoutis:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
    • Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for 50 minutes, or until the clafoutis is set and golden brown.
    • Test the center with a toothpick; it should come out clean when done.
  8. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the clafoutis to cool slightly before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm or at room temperature—avoid serving it too hot or cold.
