1/4 cup honey
2 3" strips lemon peel
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 cups cups fresh (or frozen, thawed) cherries (about 1 lb.), stemmed, pitted, halved
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, divided
4 large eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 peaches, halved, pitted, cut into 1/4"-thick wedges
Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Steps:

Preparation Compote
Bring honey, lemon peel, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a small heavy saucepan. Add cherries and simmer briskly, stirring occasionally, until sauce is syrupy, about 15 minutes. Transfer cherry compote to a medium bowl and chill. DO AHEAD: Compote can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Remove lemon peel just before serving. Pancake
Preheat oven to 425°. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan; scrape into a blender. Add eggs, flour, milk, 1 Tbsp. sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend batter until smooth; set aside in blender.
Heat a 12" cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add remaining 2 Tbsp. butter and remaining 2 Tbsp. sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar starts to caramelize, about 2 minutes. Add peaches to skillet; increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 2 minutes. Briefly reblend reserved pancake batter. Pour evenly over peaches and transfer to oven.
Bake pancake until puffed and golden brown all over, 17-20 minutes (it will deflate as soon as it's removed from the oven). Dust pancake with powdered sugar and serve immediately, passing cherry compote alongside. Hungry for More? If you have a question about this recipe, contact our Test Kitchen at [email protected].
