- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole or 2% milk
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar plus 2 tablespoons, divided

Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position.
- Melt the butter in a cast-iron or nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Swirl the butter so it coats the sides of the pan. Place the cherries in an even layer in the skillet.
- In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, cream, ½ cup of the sugar, flour, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix on medium speed until smooth and well combined. Pour the batter over the cherries.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Return to the oven and continue baking until just set and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes more. Let cool on a rack for about 30 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar if using, and serve directly from the pan.
Notes
Leftover clafoutis will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave.
