Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a 9" pie pan with unsalted butter. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.

    Step 2

    Arrange cherries in a single layer on bottom of pan. Set aside.

    Step 3

    In a bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, remaining sugar, almond flour, brown rice flour, vanilla, ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth. Pour evenly over fruit.

    Step 4

    Bake about 50 minutes, until golden brown around edges and set in center. Test by inserting a toothpick in center-if it comes out clean, the clafoutis is ready.

    Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar and serve.
