Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
