Caramelized cherries
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 pounds perfectly ripe cherries
Clafoutis batter
2 eggs, plus 2 yolks
1 pinch kosher salt
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Extra butter, for topping
Powdered sugar, for garnishing (optional)

1
Remove stems from the cherries, but leave the pits in. (Again, if you're squeamish, you may pit your cherries; just know that the end result will taste a little different.)
2
For the caramelized cherries: In a large nonstick pan, melt the 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon sugar. Add the cherries and let them slowly caramelize over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the juices begin to run and the fruit looks glazed, about 10 to 15 minutes. Generously butter a 9x13-inch pan and place the cherries in it, distributing them evenly.
3
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F and while the cherries are cooling a bit, prepare the batter: Beat the eggs, yolks, and salt together very well, using a whisk. Beat in the sugar, then sprinkle in the flour while continuing to whisk until batter is smooth.
4
In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, melted butter, and vanilla and add to the dry mixture, stirring until thoroughly combined. Pour the batter carefully over the cherries in the buttered pan, being careful to keep the fruit evenly distributed. Generously dot the top with little slivers of the extra butter. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is puffed and deeply golden.
5
Dust with powdered sugar if you'd like, then serve warm or at room temperature, warning your guests about the pits.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
