Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Lightly butter a 28cm x 3cm deep porcelain flan dish. Arrange the cherries over the base. Combine the sifted flour, sugar, salt and 2 of the eggs in a

bowl and mix together well. Add a little milk and mix well. Mix in the 2 remaining whole eggs and the egg yolks. Lastly, mix in the remaining milk. Carefully strain the mixture into the flan

dish over the cherries. Drizzle the Cognac evenly over the top. Carefully place in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and dust with icing sugar before serving.

Take care as it is very hot.
