- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

- In a blender, add the eggs, milk, honey and almond extract, flour and salt. Blend just until mixed.
- Pour egg batter evenly over cherries in the baking dish and top with sliced almonds.

- Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving, if desired.
- Cut into 12 squares and serve warm.
Notes
As Camilla notes in the original recipe, "Clafouti is something of a cross between a flan and a fruit-filled pancake. Traditional versions embrace cherries, but any fruit can be used, including apples, pears, peaches or plums. It will puff up dramatically during baking, then collapse. Let it cool slightly before serving, then chill the leftovers for a delicious breakfast treat the next morning."
Feel free to use any type of milk to make this clafoutis and to keep it low fat, be sure to choose low-fat, skim or your favorite unsweetened non-dairy milk beverage.
