Instructions
Instructions for the Sponge Flan Recipe
- Preheat oven to 175°C (347°F).
- Generously spray a 28cm (11 inch) flan tin with a non stick spray for baking making sure you get into all the grooves. (an alternative would be to butter the flan tin generously and put some flour in the pan and tap the pan to move it all around to cover it.)
- Using the Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer with whip attachment or any other hand held mixer, whip egg whites, cold water and salt until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl mix sugar, Homemade Vanilla Sugar or Dr Oetker / Ruf Vanilla Sugar and egg yolk together and add to the stiff egg white mixture without mixing.
- Add and carefully fold the flour, cornflour and baking powder into the egg white and egg yolk mixture ensuring a light and airy batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared flan tin.
- Bake for 25 min or until flan is golden browned and a cake tester comes out clean.
- Allow the flan to cool completely before removing it from the tin.
Arranging and glazing the fruit
- Neatly arrange the fruit, I used tinned peaches, so I drained the liquid.
- I followed the instructions on the Dr Oetker Tortenguss (Clear Cake Glaze) packet. (Mine was a 12g packet but I see the ones available on Amazon are 10g so please check the back of the package for the correct instructions) Find out more about Tortenguss, including what it is and how to prepare it.
- Place contents of packet of Dr Oetker Tortenguss (Clear Cake Glaze)and Sugar into a small pot and gradually add water while mixing with a whisk.
- Continue to stir and allow to boiling for a short while so that it thickens. quickly spoon the mixture onto the flan evenly from the middle to the outside. Allow to cool.
- Serve with freshly whipped unsweetened cream.
