Ingredients
- 500g black cherries (or …)
- 100ml milk
- 150ml whipping cream
- 2 drops vanilla essence
- 4 eggs
- 120g caster sugar
- 20g plain flour
- a pinch salt
- butter for greasing
- sugar to sprinkle
Method
Preheat your oven to 200°C/Gas 6.
Place the eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl [ crack the eggs first, of course 😀 ] and whisk until creamy. Add the flour and salt and whisk until smooth. Now add the milk and cream with two drops of vanilla essence, beating to mix well.
Butter a flan dish (about 25cm/10in) and sprinkle with caster sugar. Add your fruit, distributing reasonably evenly, before pouring the batter over and around the fruit.
Cook in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until set and lightly golden on top. Remove and allow to cool down to warm before sprinkling over some caster sugar and serving.
