6–8 servings

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter

3 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest

1 tsp. kosher salt

1 tsp. vanilla extract

⅓ cup plus 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar

½ cup all-purpose flour

2 cups halved and pitted cherries, or pitted and sliced apricots

Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place butter in a 2–3-qt. shallow baking dish or medium (10") ovenproof skillet. Transfer to preheating oven and heat until butter has melted, about 4–6 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, blend eggs, milk, lemon zest, salt, vanilla, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a blender until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add flour and blend just until combined.
Step 3
Pour batter into hot baking dish. Arrange fruit evenly over. Sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar. Bake clafoutis until top is puffed and lightly golden brown, 25–35 minutes. Let cool slightly, then sift powdered sugar over (if using). Serve warm.
