Ingredients

85g flaked almond , lightly toasted
25g plain flour
good pinch sea salt
140g golden caster sugar
3large free range eggs
4large free range egg yolks
375ml double cream
375g blueberry (3 punnets)
a little softened butter , for buttering dishes
sifted icing sugar , to dust

Steps:

Grind the almonds to a very fine powder in a small food processor then blend in the flour and salt. Add the sugar, whole eggs, yolks and cream. Whizz until creamy smooth. (If you're making ahead, tip the batter into a jug at this point and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.)
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Butter eight 10cm gratin dishes. Scatter the blueberries in the bottom.
Give the batter a good stir, pour into the dishes and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until risen and lightly firm. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
