This French Strawberry Flaugnarde is a tender baked custard filled with juicy strawberries. It is simple, lightly sweet, and perfect served warm or chilled.
Equipment
- 8- or 9-inch shallow baking dish
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Fine mesh strainer
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for greasing
- 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and halved
- 1 1/4 cups whole or 2% milk
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and butter an 8- or 9-inch shallow baking dish.
- Arrange the strawberries evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Whisk the milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in the flour and salt. Strain the batter if it contains lumps.
- Pour the batter over the strawberries and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center gently wobbles.
- Cool for at least 15 minutes, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm or chilled.
Notes
- Dry fresh strawberries thoroughly before using.
- A slight wobble in the center is normal because the custard continues setting as it cools.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
