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.

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.
