Place the cherries over the bottom of the buttered pan. Pour the batter evenly over the cherries and bake for 40 minutes or until golden and puffy. Serve warm with the lightly whipped cream.

Easy recipe. Butter cake. Not custard. Serve warm with whipped cream, very nice. Serve at room temperature, even better. Flavors more pronounced.
This was more of a cherry cake than a clafoutis. If you’re looking for an actual clafoutis, go with one of the other recipes here that does include milk.
I reduced the recipe by ⅓ since there are only two of us; used frozen cherries (sweet and sour combo, only slightly defrosted), and 8" glass square pan, and added ⅓ c of heavy cream to batter. It was luscious, and super easy.
