Whisk together the eggs and sugar. Sift over the flour and whisk well before stirring in the cream or crème fraiche and milk. Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
Lightly butter one large or four individual baking dishes and sprinkle with sugar to coat. Scatter the cherries in the dish and gently pour over the batter.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the batter is just firm to the touch. If it is too soft in the centre, bake for a further 5 minutes. Allow the clafoutis to cool slightly before serving with the cream.
Whip together the cream, sugar and vanilla seeds to a soft peak. This is now ready to serve.
