Cherry and Almond Bake
25g butter
500g cherries, pitted (if you prefer, raspberries work perfectly too)
75g flour
50g ground almonds
50g caster sugar
1 vanilla pod (optional), split and seeded
3 eggs
300ml milk
1 – Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C, GM4
2 – Butter a shallow baking dish and place the cherries onto the bottom.
3 – Put the flour, ground almonds and sugar into a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
4 – Put the eggs into a bowl and whisk. Then whisk in the milk and finally the vanilla seeds. Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture into the bowl and whisk thoroughly until you have a smooth batter.
5 – Pour the batter over the cherries. Place onto the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the batter is risen and golden brown.
6 – Cool slightly then serve with cream or crème fraiche.

Yum yum! This looks delicious
That's just my sort of recipe - I can use whatever fruit is in season and eggs from our hens - very fresh produce and low food miles!
Clafoutis - that would make my gran smile - she made Rhubarb/Gooseberry/Plum/Apple Batter Pudding served with dark brown sugar and a knob of butter! It didn't have a fancy French name but it tasted divine!

I have bushes heavy with gorgeous huge blueberries at the moment, apparently I must try this.
Glad you found A Year in Bread - my next recipe is up in a few days and it's cooling on the counter: fresh bread and warm rosemary. Yum!
