Recipe ~ Cherry and Tarragon Puff

Published on 05/30/2025

Cherry season is finally here! And with it, the time for fars and clafoutis and cherries fresh from the tree, bursting with sugar and sunshine 🍒☀️

Ingredients

220 g of flour

100g brown sugar

20g butter, half salt, melted

2 tbsp ground almonds

7 tarragon sprigs

500g of black cherries

75cl whole milk

 

Preparation

Preheat the Th6 oven

Whisk the eggs with the sugar until frothy.

Add the flour and whisk again

Gradually add the milk to obtain a lump-free paste.

Finally add the melted butter.

Wash and dry the tarragon and chop it – hull the cherries.

Add the chopped tarragon to the dough

Sprinkle the almond powder into a buttered dish and place the cherries on top. Pour in the flan mixture and bake for about 50 minutes until the clafoutis is golden brown.

Allow to cool to room temperature.

 

The little extras of DLP

For your almond powder: start with whole almonds – toast them and grind them into a coarse powder – tastes better and adds crunch

Instead of 2 tbsp of ground almonds, start with 4 tbsp – 2 of which you will incorporate into the dough.

Enjoy warm – even better!

And above all, never in the refrigerator – the cold inhibits the flavors of the clafoutis
