CLAFOUTIS

Clafoutis is the French version of a bread and butter pudding ......
Clafoutis is traditionally made with cherries .
Preheat your oven o 180 deg C.
This is so simple , place 50gm of almond meal in the bowl of your electric mixer along with 15gm of plain flour 1/4tsp of salt ,100gm of castor sugar .
Now mix to combine .
In a separate bowl lightly beat 2 eggs with 3 egg yolks .
Add to the dry ingredients and beat till you have a smooth batter .
Spray cooking oil in and around 4  small oven proof ramekins and then lightly dust with icing sugar.
Divide 300 gm of  pitted cherries between the ramekins
Then pour over the batter 
Place the dishes in your  pre heated oven for 25 minutes or until golden and risen .
Check the clafoutis with a skewer to make sure it has set in the middle .
If not bake for a further 5 minutes .
Leave to stand for  5 minutes before serving with a dusting of icing sugar and a healthy dollop of mascarpone or thickened cream .
