1 pinch salt
4 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup melted butter
sugar, for dusting
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Lightly butter the base and sides of a shallow ovenproof dish.
Stone the cherries and place in the dish.
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
Add the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and a little of the milk and whish to a smooth batter.
Gradually whisk in the rest of the milk and butter (add 3 tblsp kirsch to batter now if desired), then strain (with a tight mesh strainer) the batter over the cherries.
Bake for 40-50 minutes until golden and just set.
Serve warm, dusted with sugar, if you like.
