The sweet brown butter, tart raspberries, and flaky crust are amazing together. I made these tonight with frozen raspberries and haven’t been able to stop eating them.

It looks like other commenters have tried it with frozen, however. I don’t see why not, but I have only tested it with fresh ones. It looks like other commenters have tried it with frozen, however.

Made them tonight with little Italian plums (the really dark purple with greenish flesh. So incredibly good. Made two pans to take to a potluck tomorrow and have a little for dessert tonight. Big test of will power not to have more than the 1 I had tonight! Oh My Gawd!!! Made them tonight with little Italian plums (the really dark purple with greenish flesh. So incredibly good.

I had a pound of cherries and no cherry pitter, so I used a paring knife and pitted them like tiny peaches, cutting them in half; also, thinking that my one pound (which was just on the edge of overripe, so I threw out a good portion) wouldn't be enough for two batches, I bought a pound of strawberries. I also added the handful of 60% cacao chips left over from the brownies I did last week--which totally worked. All the elements were delicious in themselves, but I think the baking time/temp was wrong for my oven; it was overdone and less yummy than it could have been; I'll have to try it again differently. I actually preferred the strawberries to the sweet cherries. Brown butter is a revelation. I gave these a shot, double batch for a party.

I don't have a cherry pitter, but even the cheap little PLASTIC star tip from my 4-yr-old's baking set worked fine for pitting the cherries. OK, they got a little bashed up but it's not like you're going to complain about it with a mouthful of one of these babies. Scrumptious! even with not enough vanilla (I ran out). I've been lurking here for months, but trying several of the recipes along the way. I'm smitten with you, Deb! I love everything I've made and you're so fun to read.

However, even with "dark yellow" butter, they turned out fairly tasty. After googling brown butter (uhhh - why did I not think of this before hand???) I am going to make them again tonight, I am determined! I made these last night and was met with limited success due to my total ignorance of brown butter.

Made this, looks nothing like yours, but tastes FANTASTIC! The brown butter really plays up a toasty note that is, well, the cherry on top ;) Hi Deb!
