4 eggs
1 cup (240 ml) milk
3/4 cup (100g) flour
1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp almond extract (or 3 drops of almond essence)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2. Arrange the cherries in a single layer; set aside until you prepare the batter.
3. Mix eggs with remaining sugar and salt. Stir in flour. Add milk, vanilla extract, almond extract and mix well until well blended. Add melted butter and stir to combine. The result is similar to crepes mixture.
