- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter

- Fold in the hazelnuts.
- Let the batter stand for 15 minutes.
- Stir the batter again (it will be very thick) and spread over the cooled fruit in the skillet.
- Place the skillet in the center of the grill and grill over indirect medium-low heat with the lid down, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Let cool for 15 minutes.
- Invert into a platter and serve warm.

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
