Klafuti with cherries - useful tips and tricks
• How to determine klafuti preparedness? You just need to push the dessert with your hand. Baking should spring slightly. If the dessert bends and the pits remain, then it must still be held in the oven.
• Klafuti will definitely not stick to the mold; there will be no difficulty removing it if after lubrication the container is densely sprinkled with breadcrumbs or semolina. Flour works worse, since it is actively absorbed by the dough even at the initial stage of baking.
