Strawberry Flaugnarde is a rustic French baked dessert featuring ripe strawberries enveloped in a creamy, lightly sweetened batter. This easy-to-make dish combines fresh fruit with a custard-like texture, baked until puffed and golden, offering a delightful treat perfect for serving warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients

Scale

Flaugnarde Batter

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/4 cup (312.5ml) milk (2% or whole)
  • 2/3 cup (132g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (62.5g) all-purpose flour

Fruit

  • 2 cups (300g) ripe strawberries, hulled and halved

For Serving

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and place a rack in the middle position. Generously butter an 8-9 inch (20.5-23cm) circular or oval baking dish or skillet to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
  2. Make the batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and kosher salt in small increments, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and reaches the consistency of heavy cream. If lumps remain, strain the batter through a fine mesh sieve to ensure a silky texture.
  3. Assemble the Flaugnarde: Arrange the halved strawberries evenly at the bottom of the buttered baking dish. Pour the prepared batter evenly over the fruit, covering it completely.
  4. Bake to perfection: Place the baking dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour, or until the flaugnarde is puffed, golden brown around the edges, and the center remains slightly wobbly when gently shaken.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the dish from the oven and transfer it to a cooling rack. The flaugnarde will deflate slightly as it cools. Serve it warm or at room temperature dusted with powdered sugar. You can slice it like a cake or enjoy it by the spoonful for a comforting dessert experience.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better batter consistency.
  • If the batter is lumpy, using a fine mesh strainer will improve smoothness.
  • Serving warm enhances the custard-like texture, but it can also be enjoyed cooled.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal flavor and sweetness.
  • You can substitute 2% milk for whole milk for a lighter version, but whole milk will yield richer results.
