Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 300 milliliters Whole milk
- 30 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 medium Ripe pears (or alternative fruit like apples, peaches, or berries), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a 9-inch (23 cm) baking dish with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Crack the eggs into the bowl and whisk until fully incorporated and smooth.
Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to whisk to create a thin, smooth batter.
Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until evenly blended.
Arrange the sliced pears (or other chosen fruit) in the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
Pour the batter over the fruit, ensuring it is distributed evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the Flagnarde is puffed up, golden brown, and set in the center. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the Flagnarde from the oven and let it cool slightly to set and deflate before serving.
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving warm or at room temperature. Optionally, serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
