CHERRY CLAFOUTI 
1 1/2 tbsp. butter, melted
1 1/2 c. canned drained sweet pitted cherries
2 eggs
2 tbsp. cream
1/2 c. milk
Pinch salt
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. orange liqueur or 1 tsp. orange extract
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. plus 2 tbsp. flour
Powdered sugar

Grease an 8 inch round cake pan with the melted butter. Spread the fruit in the bottom of the pan. In a bowl, with an electric mixer, combine eggs, 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter, milk, cream, salt, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla and liqueur; blend well. Add the flour and sugar; blend thoroughly, until mixed.

Spread the batter over the fruit. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until the batter rises. This dessert will shrink back as it cools. Serve warm or cold with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
