Instructions

A recipe obtained via an attendee at a cookery course in France.

This is a type of flan that may be baked normally or by using a ‘bain marie’, that is the pie or flan dish is placed within a larger dish part filled with hot water and then baked. I am told that the bain marie method gives a much better result. The person who provided the recipe had promised me both the recipe and a taste of the finished flan. I have only recently received the recipe but have not yet tasted the flan.

You may note that there is no pastry or cream! It is neither a true tart nor a custard. It is a baked sweet omelette.

Give the fruit in a saucepan and add lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of water and the sugar. Cook over a low heat for about 10 minutes. If all the water evaporates, add a little more. Allow to cool until barely warm.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt. Add the stewed fruit and gently stir to mix.

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 7, 220ºC, 425ºF.

Pour into a flan or pie dish and then bake in a bain marie for an hour or until fully set.

Remove from oven and allow to cool and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until required.

If you cannot use a bain marie, then grease the dish before filling and bake normally.

Options:

Substitute with alternative fruits if wished, as long as the ‘exotic’ element is retained, e.g. banana, papaya, mango etc.

Make in ramekins for individual portions if preferred, but the all-in-one serving is traditional.
