Flognarde: Berry Clafoutis
Flognarde is a baked French dessert that combines berries with a simple, custard-like batter made from eggs, milk, cream, and flour. The batter is poured over buttered berries in a baking dish, then cooked until it becomes golden and set with a tender, slightly caramelized edge. This recipe yields a lightly sweetened, creamy dessert with fresh, juicy fruit that can be enhanced by a dusting of powdered sugar and served with extra berries on the side.

Notes
- Cool the flognarde for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting to ensure it holds its shape.
- Leftover flognarde can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days.
- Gluten-free flour substitutions may work; some readers suggest Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten-free flour with baking powder as a tested option.
