Introduction

This is my family's favorite not-so-sweet dessert!
Fresh sour cherries can be found in farmers' markets during a 2-week window in late June - early July. They can be pitted and frozen for later use.
Recipe adapted from family circle's "Cooking - a commonsense guide".
Obviously, this can also be made with sweet cherries (caloric breakdown varies).

Ingredients

    - fresh red sour cherries, pitted 500 grams
    - milk, 1%, 1 cup
    - plain (all-purpose) white flour, 60 g
    - granulated Sugar, 45 grams
    - brown Sugar, 45 grams
    - eggs, fresh, lightly beaten, 4 large
    - butter, unsalted, melted, 25 grams
    - brown Sugar, approximately 2 Tbs, for sprinkling

Directions

Preheat the oven to a moderate 180 oC. Brush a shallow ceramic pie plate with a little of the butter.
Spread the cherries into the dish in a single layer.
Sift the flour into a medium-sized bowl, add the sugars and make a well in the center.
Combine the eggs with milk and remaining melted butter, and gradually add the mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth and free of lumps.
Pour the batter over the fruit and bake for 35 minutes.
Sprinkle brown sugar over the dessert and grill for 3 minutes, so that it gets a nice golden color.
Best served immediately, while still risen.
