This is a fabulous base recipe for a baked fruit custard.  Showcased in an issue of Eating Well magazine with the season’s first batch of ripe strawberries, you can sub any of your favorite berries in for the strawberries, or even sweet black cherries. The custard’s base is made with a simple mixture of flour, butter, salt, sugar, eggs and the unique addition of tangy sour cream. The custards bake in a high heat oven until golden brown and puffed up; a touch of orange zest in the base of the custard adds a brightness that really steps things up a notch.
