Stage 5 - 2 min.
Sit your mould on a baking sheet, lined if you wish with cooking parchment (you can reuse the paper from toasting the hazelnuts).
I am using silicon moulds here with each compartment measuring 8x3x3 cm (3x1.2x1.2 inches).

Stage 6 - 5 min.
Put a layer of financier batter into each mould, filling to about 1/4 of the depth (a forcing bag is ideal for this).
Put in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up the batter; this helps keep the cherries in the centre of the cake.

Stage 7 - 5 min.
Put 3 (or more) cherries into each mould.
Stage 8 - 3 min.
Cover with more batter, but do not fill right to the top as the financiers will rise during cooking.
Stage 9 - 25 min.
Bake for about 25 minutes.
Stage 10
Turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool fully (or until warm) before eating.
Remarks
It is not absolutely essential to toast the hazelnuts in stage 3, but doing so really brings out their flavour.
If you don't have Griottines, you can use Amarena cherries instead.
