What Our Family Calls Flan

 . . . and the Germans call Obsttorte, which is where we got it. Americans may call it a Fruit Tart, but I say who cares, just give me some!

oven- 350

Shell:
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
approx. 2 tbsp milk

Filling:
any flavor Danish Dessert
1 bag of any fruit

Cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla, eggs, flour, baking powder, and milk; mix well. Spread evenly in well buttered flan pan; bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes. REmove from oven and cool. Make Danish Dessert according to pudding directions, adding only 1.5 cups of water. Mix in fruit; spread over inverted flan shell. Chill for approx. 3 hours.

Thanks for posting this! Sorry I changed the name, but I didn't want it to be confusing for someone who may just be surfing the net. I've gotten recipes from strangers' blogs before. Munch, you are getting "Best Contributor" award for January. THANKS!

Yum, yum. I like raspberries in Obsttorte the best. Also, I think you are supposed to add 1.5 cups water, not .5. I'll check.

yes, 1.5 cups of water. I don't know how to edit this thingy, but I called sarah yesterday and it is confirmed.
