The story behind
This dessert always takes me back to countryside afternoons. My grandmother used to say the secret was leaving the pits in the cherries to release a subtle almond flavor while baking, though nowadays we prefer the ease of eating it without the extra work. It’s the perfect recipe for when you have a haul of fresh fruit and want something sweet yet light. I love serving it warm for a mid-afternoon snack, with a dusting of powdered sugar and a cup of chamomile tea to unwind.
Instructions
-
1Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a pie or tart dish generously with butter.
-
2Arrange all the cherries at the bottom of the dish so they cover the base evenly.
-
3In a bowl, whisk the eggs with sugar and the pinch of salt until frothy.
-
4Slowly add the flour while whisking to avoid lumps, then stir in the milk and vanilla until you have a smooth, thin batter.
-
5Carefully pour the batter over the cherries and place in the oven.
-
6Bake for 35-40 minutes until the custard is set and the edges are beautifully golden.
-
7Let it cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
