Flaugnarde (also flagnarde or flognarde) is a simple, baked French dessert with fruit arranged in a buttered dish and covered with batter. The ready flaugnarde resembles a sweet pudding or a large pancake. It is similar to clafoutis, which is made with black cherries, but this warm custard is made with other fruits.
Flagnarde can be served either cold or warm. You can try to cut it in pieces to serve or eat with a spoon from the dish.
