Questions about Fruit pastry flan
How is a fruit pastry flan different from a fruit sponge flan?
A fruit pastry flan has a crisp pastry case, while a fruit sponge flan has a soft, cake-like base. The sponge version has 2.3 g protein per 100 g, compared with 1.2 g in fruit pastry flan.
How do you stop the pastry base of a fruit flan going soggy?
If you are baking one, blind-bake the pastry case first: line it with baking paper and baking beans, then bake at 190 °C for about 15 minutes. Remove the beans and paper and bake for another 5 minutes before adding moist filling.
Should fruit pastry flan be kept in the fridge?
Yes. Cover it and refrigerate it, especially if it contains custard or fresh fruit; eat it within about 2 days for the best pastry texture. Bring a portion out shortly before serving rather than leaving the whole flan at room temperature.
Can you freeze fruit pastry flan?
You can freeze it, but the pastry and fruit may soften after thawing. Freeze individual portions in airtight wrapping, then thaw them overnight in the fridge; avoid refreezing once thawed.
What goes well with fruit pastry flan?
Serve it with lightly whipped cream, crème fraîche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Tart berries or a little lemon zest balance sweeter fruit toppings.
How does fruit pastry flan compare with fruit pie?
Fruit pastry flan is usually an open pastry case topped with fruit, whereas fruit pie often encloses the filling in pastry. Fruit pie has 277 kcal and 16.4 g fat per 100 g, compared with 105 kcal and 3.5 g fat in fruit pastry flan.
Can you make fruit pastry flan with ready-made pastry?
Yes: use ready-rolled shortcrust pastry, press it into a flan tin and trim the edges. Blind-bake the case before adding fruit or custard so the base stays crisp.
