Heat your oven to 350°F (180°C), and grease a 10″ pan or skillet (cast iron works great) with butter. Dust with 2 tablespoons sugar, shaking the sugar around the pan so it sticks everywhere. You want the entire pan coated with butter and a fine dusting of sugar.

In a bowl combine the 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla bean seeds and egg, and beat with a whisk until thoroughly combined. Add the flour, mahleb, and sea salt and whisk gently to combine until no dry bits remain. Gently whisk in the milk and orange blossom water and stir until homogenous and combined.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, arrange fruit on top, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon chunky raw sugar (optional). Bake for 30-45 minutes until brown and just set. Remove from oven, cool for about 5-10 minutes. Dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.

Serve warm and fresh (it’s best right out of the oven!) and pair with a glass of real milk.
