Cherry Clafouti

1 (12-ounce) bag frozen dark sweet cherries, thawed and drained

3 large eggs

1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon orange liquor

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1/3 cup granulated sugar, plus 6 teaspoons

Pinch of salt

1 cup skim milk

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Powdered sugar, for dusting

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Butter six 6-ounce individual quiche dishes. Divide cherries equally over the bottom of each dish.
