: Not sure about creme de creme but the
other 3 are all egg custards.
: Flan is cooked in a pan like custard,
poured out to cool and baked.
: Its very popular in France but rarely made
here.
Gerard:
Albeit there is an apple flan (apple custard tart) it is quite different than a latin flan. (Basically creme caramel but a little richer.) And the other thing I think there refering to is pots de creme. Just a simple baked custard. Cherie
