Flognarde


Flognarde
Flognarde is a dessert that originated in France's Limousin region. The recipe is very simple: a vanilla-flavoured egg custard, thickened with flour, and sometimes made with seasonal fruit (apples, cherries, pears...).

This is a very old recipe that has come down to us virtually unchanged since medieval times.

Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 5 min.
Flognarde
Pour 750 ml Milk into a saucepan on low heat.

Scrape 1 vanilla pod into the milk, add 1 vanilla pod zest and bring to the boil.

Take off the heat, cover and leave to infuse for 10 minutes.

Stage 2 - 3 min.
Flognarde
Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Pour 3 Eggs and 1 egg yolk into a blender goblet, then add 60 g caster sugar, 60 g flour and 1 pinch salt.

Stage 3 - 3 min.
Flognarde
Blend on high speed until the mixture turns pale.

Stage 4 - 2 min.
Flognarde
Reduce the speed slightly, then pour in the vanilla-flavoured milk.

Blend for a few seconds longer to mix.

Stage 5 - 3 min.
Flognarde
Pour the mixture through a strainer.

Stage 6 - 1 min.
Flognarde
Then pour into a tart tin or mould.

Stage 7 - 30 min.
Flognarde
Top with slivers of butter and bake for 30 minutes.

Stage 8
Flognarde
Serve straight from the tin, as the flognarde will be very fragile.
Remarks
For a version with fruit, such as apples, sauté the peeled fruit in a little butter and sugar, then lay in the bottom of the tin or mould before adding the filling mixture.

For a nicely browned top, sprinkle the top of the flognarde with caster sugar after the first 10 minutes of cooking.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
