Which is the easiest way to make a quick and easy dessert using seasonal fruit if you don't own a mixer? You make a thick pancake mix using gluten free flour, eggs and milk, you pour it over the fruit and put it in the oven!
If you don't have cherries you can use almost any fruit available... blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, grapes, plums, apples and pears.
And if you feel a bit adventurous you can try a salty version with sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, asparagus and broccoli. The possibilities are endless and so delicious.
