For the Batter
- 1 tbsp Butter for greasing the baking dish
- 1.25 cups Milk (whole or 2%)
- 2/3 cups Granulated Sugar (adjust for less sweetness)
- 3 large Eggs (room temperature)
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract (optional, can substitute with almond extract)
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour)
For the Fruit Layer
- 2 cups Ripe Strawberries (hulled and halved)
For Serving
- Powdered Sugar for dusting
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and position a rack in the middle to ensure even baking. Generously butter an 8-9 inch baking dish to make sure your flaugnarde releases easily after baking.
- Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This creates the custard base for your flaugnarde.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and kosher salt to the wet mixture, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring a perfect texture.
- Assemble: Arrange the halved strawberries evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Then carefully pour the batter over the fruit, allowing it to settle naturally.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the center is slightly wobbly, indicating a creamy custard inside.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the flaugnarde from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
Notes
- Optional: Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to add richness and indulgence.
