This receipe is one of the worst I have come across for the quantity of ingredients, particularly the huge amount of raspberries which would no way fit into the proposed size of flan dish, and no mention of sieving the seeds? Tasted OK but would not do again as per amounts above and instructions. I cannot change the star rating but I would give it only one star.
I WAS FAB THANKYOU !!!!
