Clafoutis

For our annual neighbours' party, I made a clafoutis. I consulted a recipe in 'Het Gerecht' by Filip Verheyden, but I decided to stick to a very quick and light recipe from my mother, which probably comes from the magazine Elle.

500 g white soft cheese (platte kaas)
125 g flour
100 g sugar
a little vanilla sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
400 g fruit (cherries, red- or blackcurrant, plums, ...)

Wash fruit.
Beat egg yolks, sugar and vanilla sugar until the mixture gets creamy.
Mix baking powder with flour, and add flour and cheese gradually to the mixture.
Beat egg whites and add.
Pour half of the mixture in a greased tin, distribute the fruit over it and cover with the remaining mixture. Keep the fruit 2 cm from the border to avoid leaking.
Bake for 30-40 min. at 180°C.

The recipe in Het Gerecht uses these ingredients:
100g flour, 4 eggs, pinch of salt, 175 g sugar, 2 packets vanilla sugar, 4 dl milk, 450 g cherries.
Everything just gets mixed, with the milk last, except for the fruit.
They gave the useful tip to leave the cherry stones in the fruit for extra flavour.
