Clafoutis: the fruit is baked in a liquid egg mixture

Useful to know

King Arthur’s Cherry Clafouti places cherries in a prepared dish and pours over a smooth egg, dairy, sugar and flour mixture. Everything bakes together without a separate rolled crust. [1]

A round dish does not make it a conventional fruit pie. The fruit sits within the set mixture rather than on a pastry base. This particular recipe uses pitted cherries. With another version, check that detail explicitly rather than assuming all recipes sharing the name prepare the fruit identically.
