Mary Berry Cherry Clafoutis Recipe

Mary Berry Cherry Muffins

Mary Berry’s version of cherry clafoutis is a classic take on the French dessert. It combines pitted cherries with a smooth, slightly sweet batter that bakes up firm around the edges and tender in the middle. The dish is typically made in a shallow dish and served directly from the oven with minimal fuss.
