• 1 cup raspberries
• 2 tablespoons sifted unbleached flour or 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup stone-ground cornmeal
• 1 cup unbleached flour or 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• 2 butter a 2-quart gratin or baking dish, and set aside.
• 3 toss the peaches in a bowl with the honey or brown sugar, the lemon juice, cinnamon and the 2 tablespoons flour.
• 4 sift together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.
• 5 transfer to the bowl of your food processor, if using, and pulse a few times to amalgamate the ingredients.
• 6 cut in the butter, pulsing with the food processor or mixing with forks, until the mixture has a coarse, mealy texture.
• 7 add the yogurt and honey and process or stir just until the mixture is homogenous.
• 8 gently stir the raspberries into the peaches and transfer the fruit to the buttered baking dish.
• 9 scrape all the liquid in the bowl in with the peaches.
• 10 spoon heaped tablespoons of the topping mixture over the peaches.
• 11 they should be just about covered, although there may be some small spaces between the spoonfuls of batter; lightly moisten your fingertips and spread the topping if there are big spots where the fruit isn't covered.
• 12 place the baking dish on a baking sheet with a rim so that if the fruit bubbles over the juices won't run over your oven.
• 13 bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the top golden brown.
• 14 remove from the oven and cool until warm on a rack.
• 15 serve warm, with whipped cream, yogurt or vanilla ice cream.
• 16 advance preparation: this can be made a few hours ahead, but is best served warm.
• 17 you can warm it for 15 to 20 minutes in a low oven.
