Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch flan pan with butter or spray, then dust with flour.
- In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with 1/2 cup sugar until frothy (about 2 minutes). Be careful not to overbeat.
- Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder until just blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Baking the Sponge
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool.
Making the Vanilla Cream
- Heat 2 cups of milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, but do not boil.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/3 cup sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Gradually stir in the warm milk. Return this mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until thick, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Assembling the Flan
- Pour the cream evenly over the cooled sponge. Arrange sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top.
- In a small saucepan, dissolve the sugar and cornstarch in 1/2 cup water. Simmer until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Brush the glaze over the fruit to add shine. Chill for 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended with cream and fruit, but the sponge can be frozen for a month without toppings.
