Ingredients

  • Oil for greasing
  • 450g (1lb) fresh cherries, pitted or 400g can pitted black cherries, drained
  • 4 tablespoons kirsch or cherry brandy
  • 100ml (4 fl oz) milk
  • 150ml (1/4 pint) whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 4 large British Lion eggs
  • 100g (3 1/2 oz) caster sugar
  • 25g (1oz) plain flour

  2. Put the milk, cream and vanilla in a pan and heat until almost boiling. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until creamy, add the flour and beat until smooth. Pour over the hot milk and mix well. You can leave the mixture to stand for up to 1 hour.
