French Fruit Clafouti

This a time-honored favorite French recipe that is made by baking fresh fruit in a batter similar to pancake batter. The result is a custard-like cake chock-full of fruit. Traditionally this is made with cherries, but it could be made with any fruit you would use to make pie. When I tested this recipe and offered my husband a taste, he took a bite and said, "Oh, this is the best!" and proceeded to eat the whole sample! makes 2 servings 2 cups fruit, peeled, cored and slices, if needed 1/4 cup milk 3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled 1 large egg, beaten lightly 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 2 tablespoons honey or agave 1/4 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder a pinch of salt 1.
