1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or a similar-sized pie dish with butter.

2. Prepare the Fruit:

   • Rinse and pit the cherries (or prepare your chosen fruit). Spread them evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.

3. Make the Batter:

   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined.
   • Add the milk, flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until smooth and there are no lumps. Finally, stir in the melted butter.

4. Combine and Pour:

   • Pour the batter over the fruit in the baking dish, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed.

5. Bake:

   • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed, set in the center, and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.

6. Cool and Serve:

   • Allow the clafoutis to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Serving Suggestions:

Clafoutis is delightful on its own but can also be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Pair it with a cup of coffee or tea for a perfect finish to a meal.
