1 1/2 pounds stone fruit, such as plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, and apricots
5 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for coating the baking dish
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish generously with butter.
Halve the fruit, then remove and discard the pits. Cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick slices. Place in the baking dish and arrange into a single layer; set aside.
Combine the eggs, sugar, cardamom, and salt in a large bowl and whisk until smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Add the flour and whisk until just smooth. Add the milk, 3 tablespoons butter, and vanilla and whisk until just combined. Slowly pour over the fruit (to prevent the fruit from floating) in the prepared baking dish.
Bake until set, puffed, and light golden-brown around the edges, about 50 minutes. Place the baking dish on a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes (the clafoutis will deflate). Cut into squares, dust with powdered sugar if using, and serve warm.
