Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 tbsp Butter For greasing the baking dish; substitute with non-stick spray if needed.

  • 3 large Eggs Essential for structure and richness; ensure they are at room temperature for best results.
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt Enhances the flavor; do not omit.
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract Adds depth of flavor; substitute with 1 tbsp cognac if desired.
  • 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; can substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
For the Fruit
  • 2 cups Ripe Strawberries The star ingredient for flavor; swap with seasonal fruits like raspberries, blueberries, peaches, or pears.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Flaugnarde
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease an 8 to 9-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth, then sift in flour and salt while whisking until lump-free.
  3. Prepare the strawberries by washing, hulling, and slicing them, then arrange them in the greased baking dish.
  4. Pour the batter over the strawberries, ensuring they're submerged as much as possible.
  5. Bake for approximately 1 hour until puffed and golden brown, with a slightly wobbly center.
  6. Cool on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
  7. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the flaugnarde before serving.
