1 cup pitted fresh Terhune Orchards Sour Cherries
3 tbsp brandy, optional
1/2 cup flour
1 tbsp sugar
pinch of salt
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp unsalted butter
confectioners sugar
sour cream
If you're using the brandy, soak the cherries in brandy for an hour or longer. Preheat oven to 425. Sift flour, sugar, and salt into a mixing bowl. Add eggs and whisk until smooth. Add milk and vanilla, using the whisk to blend well. Stir in cherries and brandy. Place butter in heavy 12-inch straight-sided oven proof skillet or a 9- x 13-inch straight metal baking pan. Place pan in preheated oven until butter is sizzling but not brown, about 3 minutes. Pour in batter, distributing cherries evenly. Bake until pudding is puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar. Serve hot with a spoonful of sour cream or plain yogurt.
