Cherry And Almond Clafouti ( Baked Custard ) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

400 g tinned pitted whole cherries
1/3 cup almond meal
1/3 cup caster sugar (superfine sugar)
3/4 cup milk or 3/4 cup soymilk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon icing sugar (confectioners sugar)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 180\u00b0C.
Grease a 20cm round pie dish with butter or margarine.
Spread the fruit in the dish.
In a mixing bowl combine the almond meal and the sugar.
Separately, whisk together the milk and the eggs.
Slowly add the eggs and milk to the almond meal and sugar. Mixing until fully combined.
Pour the almond custard mixture over the cherries. Bake for approx 30 minutes or until the clafouti is just set.
Dust with icing sugar (use pure icing sugar if following a gluten free diet).
Serve with cream or ice-cream if desired.
The clafouti can also be made in ramekin dishes for individual serves. Just watch the cooking time as you will need less time.
