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.

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

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

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

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

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

Stage 8

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.
