Instructions
Step 1
Gather the ingredients.Step 2
Preheat an oven to 350 F. Butter a 9x9 inch square baking dish or a 9-inch deep-dish pie round with the softened butter. Set the pan asideStep 3
Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking oil and arrange the prepared raspberries in a single layer. Place the berries in the preheated oven and roast them for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are tender and slightly shrunken. Allow them to cool on the tray for 5 minutes.Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, flour, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until it forms a smooth, thin batter. Spread 3/4 cup of the batter onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake it for 2 to 4 minutes. Watch the batter closely and remove it before it cooks through completely. It should just start to thicken and set when it is removed from the oven.Step 5
Transfer the dish to a heatproof surface and arrange the raspberries over the hot batter. Pour the remaining batter over the raspberries and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.Step 6
